haha!  I had to buy a usb hd enclosure, and I wanted a mp3 player, so I
thought I'd mix them all together (plus throw in some more features)!
It also copies from memory card to its hd without plugging into the
computer - useful for when my camera memory card fills up.  I have a
trigger happy finger... but I digress!

and I forgot:

3. with a video file recorded from my digital still camera[1], I can't
fast forward or re-wind (on the device).  Is this a "feature" of AVI, or
probably of the device?  (Apparently mplayer can do it because it
creates some sort of sudo-index?)

Thanks again,
