"useful SD memory card expansion slot" - If it's as useful as the SD slot on a Creative Zen, I won't be buying one.

What was the problem with it Steve? Did it restrict what you could do with that storage - could you not have that data transfer to and fro properly with the built in storage or what? Frankly I think expandable memory is always welcome, and I wish Apple would let go of its control freak ways and offer it too - even if only on the high end models.

SD Card Slot

Creative has added an SD card slot for expandability which, however, is severely crippled. The SD card does not fully integrate into the library; it is a completely separate entity which cannot take advantage of all media functions.

Here is how the SD card works. In order to use media (video, photos, or audio) you must go to the "Memory Card" menu on the player. When in this menu you can browse the media by typical file folder browsing, but ID3 browsing cannot be enabled. All media is playable by selecting, but you don't have the same options, such as "view details", "lookup artist", "remove", "save as playlist", "add to playlist", and "set bookmark", as you would if you were in the main library To add insult to injury, if you have a short cut key set to the Now Playing screen, it will take you to an empty Now Playing screen and stop your music. If you are playing music from the SD card, just moving to any other part of the menu will stop the music.

Compare to a Cowon D2 where music on the SD card is seamlessly integrated with the on board storage at boot up of the player.

Interesting. The SanDisk Sansa Fuze has seamless microSD card library integration for what it's worth...
