Good information. Sounds like you have more experience than me. I haven't used an MP3 player that looks like a USB HD. I've heard though that some of them that have this feature, still doesn't allow you to add mp3's to the device to be played.
What are you saying is debatable?
Two things: 1) MP3 players should be usable as portable hard drives for general purpose computer use. 2) The FAT file system is a suitable basis for audio file storage on a portable, self-contained audio player.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'd like to know more myself...
It's a big hairy issue and, of course, rather subjective. It regards users expectations as they often conflict with design considerations for these two classes of devices.
