W550i is good,U cannot upgrade the memory, but 256 MB is enough for 3 to 4 hrs of music in 64 kbps MP4. U will need a fast port data cable to connect to PC which is bundled

Ugh, right, so he's gonna be converting Mp3 files which already have a loss to another format losing again. Mp4/AAC/OGG is only good if you direct rip it from CD or from its original lossless source.

Frankly speaking, 256mb may not be enough for a music listener. It may be enough for a casual user.
