100 albums is quite a small collection, I believe I have more than that on my phone.

If I can not easily browse through 1000 artists this has no value to me.

    I only put around 100 or so albums at a time on my DAP and/or phone, my full music collection is easily 100 times that large. It would be insane to try have that on any portable device since the collection is always growing and being curated/tagged. Also, most of my music listening is from my desktop, not my DAP or phone, so 100 albums that I swap out now and then is ideal.

    I mean, I have more than 100 albums in CDs in my car; probably some 200 or 300. I'd expect a digital device to be able to stash more music than my car can.

    But I do see the use of swapping music in and out; it is what I do with my phone, but that is mostly due to limited storage; if I could I'd store way more than that in my phone.

    I think we just listen to music differently. I found that having too much music on a device, be it a phone, DAP , sometimes just USB drive, was more trouble than it was worth. I was having a hard time distilling down my music collection like that, where with the 100 or so albums it was meant to be a quick sampling that didn't need to cover all the bases.
