Yes I definitely appreciate that. When the music player was messing up I was thinking of just returning it and getting the hd2. But with only SD card memory it would be an unhappy marriage. Only real alternative would be iphone but 3 months of having an ipod touch taught me I never want anything to do with apple and their underhand tactics which try to permanently tie you into their products. E.g not being able to export playlists created in itunes.
