http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=complementary defines complementary as (among others) "Supplying mutual needs or offsetting mutual lacks."

Why? You can have a
copy of your music there. It's a hard drive. Just like the memory card on your Pocket PC. The difference is that it's much, much larger.

Not to mention, it wouldn't play all my WMA files.

Well, like AAC, WMA means lock-in. MP3 would work fine on the desktop, Pocket PC, and any other music player out there.

Actually, a lot more than that. You can listen to Audible books, play games, read ebooks, make playlists on the fly, transfer digital photos, record voice notes, copy arbitrary files to the hard drive via USB or Firewire, etc. Oh, and try selecting an arbitrary song on your Walkman in 2 seconds or less.
In any case, we're now completely off-topic in this thread, so I'm going to stop debating. You have to figure out the optimal way to listen to your own music.
If you ever get an iPod, check out the case Marlof talks about.
