Although not quite as convenient as having your entire music library stored on 1 card, you can buy several 32GB SDHC cards for the same money as they want for the new 64GB SDXC card. Much more storage capacity for the same (or less) money.
Prices will come down on this new card, but you have to be patient. The 32GB cards were close to this price ($200) as well when they came out. Now they’re around 30 bucks or so.
well i’m after the convenience of having my entire library on 1 device. that’s why i’m weighing whether to get a 64 gb card or much as i would hate it, just bite the ipod bullet.
Buy a second player, and put a 32GB micro SDHC card in it. A 2GB Clip+ is only around $30 on Amazon. You can get a 2GB Clip+ and two 32GB micro SDHC cards for around half the price of a 64 GB micro SDXC card.
