hard disk player
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.Although the iPod popularized hard disk players, Creative Technology actually introduced a 6GB hard disk MP3 player in 2000, nearly two years earlier than Apple. See digital music player, MP3 and iPod.

| 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.) |
