Why don't they make a dedicated iPod just for...

Why don' they make a dedicated iPod just for music like the Nano but that has the ability to store 30 or 60gb. I'd like to convert my CDs into Apple Lossless but I need far more space than the Shuffle or Nano currently provide. It seems like the larger capacities are reserved for the iPod Video player. The thing is, I'm really not interested in video...

Can anyone provide any explanation, solution, recommendation, etc. Also, any ideas when Apple may release something that would address my needs?

Thank you!

One more question... Using Apple Lossless about how many 4 minute songs could I fit on the 30gb and 60gb iPod Video?

Thanks again!

Figuring 6 MB per minute of music (from 10 MB uncompressed), that works out to 1250 4-minute songs on the 30-gig and 2500 on the 60. These are very rough estimates, since the amount of compression will vary from song to song.
