Looks like the SanDisk is too small. Tech help says 64G is tops, and it doesn't perform that well with that much.

Saw a Sony NW-ZX100 out there, but it's almost $700. It is more than I need for the car. The hi-res audio will be wasted on my mp3 files and even if they were 24 bit, I'm listening in the car.

Still, if I can't find anything else, it might be a keeper.

There are new old-stock iPod 160s out there for $400, but I doubt they would carry the warranty - and I could get a lemon.

I downloaded an app to fix the iPod (cost $30) but it doesn't seem to be working. It was worth the try though. I might let it run all night, right now it seems stalled - the progress bar hasn't moved in an hour or so.

I found a few mentions of phones, but I don't know how much memory I could put in an old phone. 128 Megs?

I might find an old phone and try.

Meantime, I'll keep looking.

BTW, on my Tuvan album, there is a guy who does 3 notes at once. I wouldn't want to listen to this all the time, but a dozen cuts in 10,000 or so songs seems to be just the right mix.

Thanks again for all the help.
