Best MP3 Player that used PATA 2.5'' Hard Drive?
I recently acquired a 100GB hard drive from an old iBook and I in considering what to do with it, I thought it might be useful to install it in an old hard drive MP3 player so I could have that benefit in addition to having an external drive.
 I already have an old Archos Jukebox 20 but I'm curious if there's something less old out there that might be better. Last edited by Mr. B; 12-02-2012 at 04:35 PM.

From what I remember only cheapo Chinese throwaway players OR a device called a "Media Vault" use the 3.5" hdd. A google search will help,...

Well you could get an external enclosure and also get a raspberry pi micro computer and build a music jukebox out of the two and be out ~$70. That would be my suggestion, or you could buy a media player that attaches to your TV and put the HDD into an external enclosure and use it for storage on the media player.

Ah now that I re-read it, it makes sense. Awhile ago I wanted to build a music server for my house but decided that I have enough trouble getting one library into shape and didn't want to have to deal with multiple one's. I find it much easier to have one library on my laptop so I can take it anywhere with me.
