120 gig hard disk. capable of storing 3000 hours of music MP3 format.

Can take it easily out of car and use it on home hi fi or computer.

Got it from here: www.dension.com (model DMP3)
120gb = 122880mb
1mb = 1 minute of music encoded at 128k
122880 / 60 = 2048 hours of music

So, its only going to give you 2048 hours, not 3000.
Remember, that is also using 128k which is LESS than cd quality! If you had all your mp3s at 192k (cd quality) then it will be even less....
