Why the marketing folks make life more complicated by using strange terms I dont know. "MP3 player with lossless file capability" may be longer, but it makes immediate sense.

I don't mean to hijack your thread but I am now "all over this" but can't seem to find a portable DAP on Line that has more than 128GB storage which will fill up pretty quickly I imagine Do you know of any portables with 1-4 TB Drives ?

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

You load files onto these players via a USB connection to your computer. Files can be loaded onto a folder, but they can be erased, too. Folders can be added but they can also be erased. If I played non-stop using my MP3 player (excuse me, my DAP with WAV files), I don’t think I could live long enough playing open mics 24 hours a day for the rest of my lifetime to come anywhere near running out of space, even if I didn’t delete any files.

Regarding laptops, I for one would never trust them to be reliable, and of course, they take up space.... You could much more easily use a portable widget. BUT, I don't know. I'm simply learning here.

Most of the new players have SD cards and ship with a 4 GB card, although you could swap that for one with more capacity. I can’t imaging using it as a player and needing more than 4. If someone is using it to record, especially if they are composing multitrack songs, then I understand. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

There are 2819 songs taking a total of 16GB. They're a 128ksps (the car's sound isn't really good enough to warrant much higher).
