Dear mp3 player manufactures

Yes, I'm looking at you Apple. What's the deal? Why are mp3 players still so piddley? I can install 8GB in my four year old phone!

People must buy more new music if they can only put a couple tiny tunes on their player.

Almost $200 for 8GB. Really?

How about 2TB for $159.99!


Sure, sure solid state is more expensive than a spinning drive. But you can buy 64GB of SSD for under $145!
