Definitely. A 160G hard-drive based ipod is about the size of a pack of cigarettes and holds about 270 uncompressed full-length CDs, perhaps 500 with lossless compression. A few hundred dollars will buy one from Apple.
Here's a board with 640G of flash memory, enough for 1000 uncompressed CDs, which has no moving parts and about the size of a CD.
