oh well, not a huge issue. flash memory is dirt cheap these days so it's not really a hassle to swing by the local tech shop and grab a fatty 8 or 16gb usb stick to dump a truckload of music on.
Well from every account I've read the internal DAC is better than letting your Ipod or any MP3 player do it.
