New drives are in fact pretty cheap these days. I just got a pair of 120Gb drives for £41 each from Dabs. With a touch of sadness, because it means the end is now sort-of in sight for the car-player: drives above 128Gb don't work with the stock kernel, and even Hijack doesn't help with drives above 160Gb as they're all Serial ATA only. So the time will come when I'll have more FLAC than I can ever fit in a car-player...
