Directed to all blind users on the list. Is there any posibility at all of
changing a harddrive for an IAudio or Iriver without assistance? I know the
two players are different in structure, so I mentioned both. Nothing wrong
with my IAudio, but I want to put in a bigger harddrive than the thirty gb I
have right now. lol. I like a lot of space.

Clement.
