Hard drives are cheaper, but data is priceless.
Have you ever considered how much time it will take to listen to all of the stuff we are trying to cram onto our empegs' hard drives?
Quick math:
1 min. worth of MP3 song at a descent cbr of 192 Kbps - roughly 1.4 MB. Given the largest currently available empeg space - 160 GB, say 155 GB (158720 MB) of which is usable, there are approximately 113371 min. That's 78.7 days or 2.6 months!

I actually joke about that all the time to my friends. I've never done the math and assumed it was more than that. I remember when I got my first 12GB player, I used to joke that I could drive to and from California a few times without hearing the same song twice - now I could do more than that! The point isn't having "hours" of music but rather having the means to hear "what you want, when you want." This is very true when DJing, so I can meet requests, but it's also great when driving around town. I say to my passangers, "What do you want to hear?" Someone who hasn't ridden with me might reply, "What do you have?" To which I'll repeat, "No. What do you want to hear?" Of course, even with my 140gb, I still get stumped all the time!

Put me down as a second volunteer if you need one. My player also needs to have the IDE header soldered, it's pretty much useless at the moment.

SOLD! haha.
Haha, NICE! Hm, that might actually sell me too, though I'm hesitant to "butcher" my player if I don't need to.
Mark, would you plan to release "low mem" and "high mem" versions of HiJack for us poor 16meg folks in the future?
::shudders:: But, what if Mark doesn't offer low mem version? And what if Patrick's memory board goes out of production? I'll be stranded at 16 meg, software will be incompatible, my database size will be too big, and ALL that. Oh man, the threat of empeg add-ons going out of production is SO strong....

You know what, put me down for one also. I'll keep my spare player as a pristine example of empeg's genius. But I'll jack up my main player with all the goodies. And besides, it's by Patrick. And if it goes out of production and I miss my chance at it, I'll KICK myself.

Well, I dunno. Hijack is just mostly stuff I do for my own use, and I make it available to the rest of us just because that way it gets tested more thoroughly!
Mmm..

Somehow I passed over this thread as well. I was planning to find someone to perform the "old" method upgrade to my player, but since that's not done yet...
I would definitely be interested in one. And of course if someone offers to install it, that would be wonderful.

Well.. Even I would like to have some extra memory, so: PCA: you can count me in too for 1 set. Isn't easier to setup a web-site to take the orders there (like you did with the tuners). Its a hard time to count all request here

This is great! I'd like one. Also, is there a chance that we could see pictured of this board. I'm curious to see how it mounts and what it looks like.

Isn't the can't remember the playlist problem to do with lack of space in the dynamic data partition? The space reserved for the current playlist has a hard limit. Extra RAM won't help in this case. You'll need to get the empeg guys to see about modifying the format of the dynamic data partition.
I noticed my 12mb empeg can not even play the root playlist whereas my 16mb RioCar can (but will not remember it through reboots). So I guess the dynamic data partition is used to store info between reboots and must be smaller than the 16mb used by the RioCar to load the playlist during operation? How hard would it be to get a larger data partition from the Build Brothers?
// I imagine a larger initial order will hopefully bring the price down?
