here is what I found after a google search of "what kind of memory does ipod use?"

Storage
Today, there are many different types of iPod's available. They can include traditional iPod's, video iPod's, the iPod Nano and the iPod Shuffle. These different types of iPods usually use one of two types of storage; miniature hard drives or flash memory.

Miniature hard drives can be smaller than 2 inches and fit as much as 80 gigabytes of data, making it extremely easy to store your entire music collection and download several full length motion pictures. On smaller sized units such as the iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle a different type of storage media is used, it is called flash memory. This type of storage unit usually holds from 1 to 8 GB of data. The advantage of using flash memory is that it is even smaller than miniature hard drives and extremely thin, allowing an even smaller device to be created.

I have 2 Sansa players. The only problem I've had was one of them drops a channel with the headphones.

I have had a couple of sansa mp3 players, and from time to time they have locked up on me. Sh*t happens.

Both my kids have a Sansa 8 gb Fuze for a year now with zero problems. My one son also added an 8gb memory card. He uses it constanly and has zero problems with it. My sons Sansa Fuzes have a real quality feel to them, have a nice navigation system and hold a charge for close to 24 hours. I used it on my bike a few times with no problems.

Prior to that I bought my kids 16 gb Creative Zens (harddrive). After about 6 months one of the Zens locked up. I bought two more, one for my son and one for me. They both froze and died. I contacted Creative, got someone in the Phillipnes (I think) and was told there was nothing they could or would do.

I will NEVER buy antoher creative product!

I picked up a Raven mp3 player by machspeed a while back at staples. It was a good deal as it was on sale. Don't know if it is even still being manufactured, but thus far is has not given me any issues. It's 2gb and I was able to load up a little over 300 songs in the mp3 format for a total of 30 hrs of music. I just carry it in the inside pocket of my jacket.

That little clip is the $hit aint it? I paid $35 for it new a few years ago. It has locked up 2 times but was an easy fix and i still use it everytime i ride. I think i might get another on if this one ever dies for good. It holds a charge good too.

I skipped the whole idea of the player on my Road Glide. I just copied all my music onto cd's in mp3 format and play it in the stock radio. can get several hundred songs on one cd and use the handlebar controls. But I also dont need to carry music other places like you would with an ipod, etc.

I did not realize you could put several hundred songs on a cd. I have mine in the mp3 format on my computer and will be backing them up by copying them to cd. You sure you can get that many on a cd-rw disc?
