hard disk player - technical definition
A digital music player that stores songs on its hard disk. The hard disk holds considerably more titles than a "flash player," which uses built-in flash memory or a removable flash memory card.
The Reason Why
Tiny hard disks are the reason why digital music players can hold so many songs. This 3GB Cornice hard drive is shown with a standard sized business card. Using a 1" platter, it is approximately 1.7" x 1.4" by 2/10ths of an inch thick. (Image courtesy of Cornice, Inc.)
