      It supports FLAC but goes only to about 64 GB micro SD cards. Although they made newer models since, but every one seem to have missing important features, like Bluetooth only or lack of SD cards support.

      You can’t hear flac. But no it doesn’t do 2tb. Is this $250 device water resistant? Does it have a clip? Does it have an FM tuner?

        I can hear flac is better than mp3. maybe I can’t hear all flac has to offer, but its a better listening experience. also the page 100% says it supports up to 2tb sd. the things you listed literally dont matter to me

          I mean no one can even hear all the way up the bitrate of MP3s. So no one can actually hear FLAC.

          also the page 100% says it supports up to 2tb sd.

          No I was answering your question that the Sandisk didn’t support that.

          Cool. I was asking what is so interesting about this $250 iPod and how does open source benefit it? Besides holding so many songs you’ll never listen to them I mean. It doesn’t appear to have functionality a player 1/5th it’s cost does. And no one has given me an answer on what functionality open source could enable for an mp3 player that isn’t already available.

            when I compare an mp3 file to a flac file, the flac sounds better. theoretical maximum mp3 bitrate isn’t what I experience.

            sorry about the 2tb miscommunication. 100% my bad.

            even if 2tb is too much, it is expandable, and the one you posted isn’t. personally I have a few hundred gb. some people do listen to more music.

            I dont don’t think its worth $250 but its a cool project to be excited about.

            for me, open source is mostly philosophical. that won’t mean enough to everyone. I also expect better long term support from an open source project.
