Sorry, don't know too much about MP3 players aside from my GF's Ipod mini but can you copy whatever you want to most MP3 players with a hard drive built in? I'm not expecting to be able to see everything I copy on to it, just that I'd like to use it to transport data around if needs be.

I believe the iRiver HD players can. Creative Zens Xtra and Touch cannot, however. Don't know about Zen Micros.

The Zen Micro also supports it for up to 2.5 gigs (It has to be set up on the player to be partitioned off as a separate portion for data). I'm unsure on iRiver H10 as most seem to say that putting music on the player is no longer drag and drop (atleast for the US player) and you have to use wmp10 or equivalent, but do not answer if it will show up as a USB drive when plugged it :/

I think the rio carbon and karma can act as HDs as well.

Yeah, one of the things that pissed me off about my Zen Xtra was that it wouldn't emulate an HD. You always needed middleware in Windows to explore its contents, and normal data transfer was always kind of iffy, and of course, it couldn't be made bootable.

One of the first things I did when I got my MuVo was format it as bootable.
