Default Buying mp3 player, asking ops.

I'm going away for 9 months. Can't bring laptop/computer but I want to have my 70gb of music to come with me.

I have a little sandisk 2gb mp3 player for the portability and easy access of my top songs.


I have little cash and 2 weeks until I go. I plan on buying this:

Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen XTRA modded to 120GB

Any advice or info is greatly appreciated. just looking for a 2nd opinion

not an expert on this topic, but not stupid either.
The product seems capable of providing what the seller says it will.
You probably won't get much more for much less.

Wow, a mono display, makes you look like a "retro" homeless-dude, except they have more money and can afford iPods.

In terms of storage, you won't find a better deal anywhere. The player itself is rather dated, but that's OK since the capacity is so high. I'd say go for it, the price is about right. Just take care of it, it's possible that the player is more sensitive due to the modifications.

Rev up your bittorrent client, those 120GBs aren't going to fill themselves! Not that I support piracy (wink, wink).
