Perhaps they want to play lossless files. Should be possible with a

"Replaceable firmware" is orthogonal to wanting 10s of thousands of
songs in the palm of your hand.
Besides, those tiny ear buds are pretty horrible, so huge FLAC files
would be a waste. Even if you had fancy headphones, "only" having 8
albums isn't that much of a burden. Or you could move to a 2GB or
4GB player.

First of all, I had to wait until one shipped with something other than
the tiny SSDs they put in the Asus EEEs and as, it seems, the primary option
on the initial AA1s. I'd been waiting /years/ for a proper MP3 player with
100 gigs of space, that ran a user replaceable firmware,
Why?
What *possible* use could *anyone* have for a player with 100*10^9/(5*10^6)
= 20,000 songs (1,667 albums, if each song is 5MB and each album has 12
songs) in the palm of their hand? The organizational task itself is
enormous.
16 "albums" on a 1GB player is more than anyone needs at any one time,
giving you more than enough room for an eclectic selection of music, easily
(if you've organized your PC's HDD well, and have some good scripts)
replacing the music any time you're home.
