I want a brick in my pocket that holds my entire media collection so I can take over other people's stereos. Not a penny sized player that only holds an hour or two of music.

Great point, I regret selling my ajbr (with brick being a good description). It fell to the ground a couple of times and the rubber corners protected it from harm.
The only time I get to listen to music is in the car or in the house when Im looking after the children where my ipod is connected to a set of computer speakers so the size of the player is not important to me either.

The size of the device is somewhat important to me, but it doesn?t have to be thin or tiny. Thick/wide enough to use the AA standard, plus tall enough to have a CF-card compartment, equals an H120 that fits in most pockets. CF-cards in 16GB are available right now, and it?s only a matter of time before the 32GB cards are here.

Since I can't have that based on the Zen, I'm investigating ways of getting it, starting with other hardware and ultimately perhaps as a kit.

Key to this is the 2.5" disk. Mainly because they're cheap and with high capacity. And 2.5" based hardware has all but disappeared.

My wish is exactly the same as yours. And with a huge battery, so I won't have to plug my player into the wall (or similar) every 5 hours like mye iAudio x5. I'm not scared of size, lots of us have big pockets, bags or backpacks, right? :)
Nice to hear others who would *not* like another tiny player that holds 100 songs and disappears in your pocket :)
The biggest player (storage wise) I've heard of was an American one with 100 GB (similar to the iriver 40 gig, but with bigger HDD), and I can't believe that no one has come made a bigger one.
I'm now at the point where I need to remove music from my player in order to put new music on it. That's of course due to flac-use, and I will continue with this. (Live recordings are usually not hifi, and shouldn't be compressed)

I hook my H120 into my stereo as a convenient way of listening to music when I'm too lazy to look through my CD collection. A dream come true what be to able to play music from my external hard drive that has my music collection stored in FLAC format (rather than 128k OGG of my H120).
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, not sure where to start, but is it possible to hook up a HDD DAP player to an external hard drive?

Yes, it is possible. Most of the players like iriver Hxxx (if not all) have standard ATA (IDE) interface. You just need to open the player and use a suitable power source and an adapter because most of the players contain 1.8" HDD while you would probably like to use 2.5" or 3.5" external HDD.
