Extending the Capacity of Creative Nomad IIc MP3 Players?

A not-so Anonymous Coward asks: "I recently bought a second hand Creative Nomad IIc. I've since found that it is a good little MP3 player, with one slight exception: it's lack of memory. Sixty-four megs of memory was good, but with the 10 and 20 GIG players out now it's a little lacking. Plus, being Canadian has it's downside: with the new 'tax' being applied to anything that can store music (another reference, here), MP3 players are set to double in price. Being the kind of person I am, I'd rather try upgrading my current MP3 player then buy a new one. Are there any ways to attach a laptop hard drive to my Nomad? Are there any Smart Media > IDE converters I could use? Is there any information on how to make one myself?"

    You need the universal business adapter. It connects anything to anything. I think you can buy a special plug for it to use with Nomads. I've had luck connecting my crisper drawer to a frozen chicken using it.

    Are you saying you don't think this new tax is fair? Don't you feel proud to (cough) give extra money to quality artists like Bryan Adamas (ack) or Celine Dion (uuurrgh)????? Don't you have any idea how much better the world looks upon Canadians for exporting that quality (burp) music?????

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I must watch my government approved TV shows, on my parental-chip controlled television, while murmuring thanks to my government for all the blessed taxes bestowed upon me.
