I have about 500 albums, which is small for a music fan. With WM9's 2:1-3:1 lossless compression, call it 120GB (500 albums * .6 uncompressed GB / album * 1 compresssed GB / 2.5 uncompressed GB). The Nomad Zen, which I think is today's most capacious player, has 60GB of storage. Okay, I think I know one thing that will be on my Christmas 2004 Christmas list...
