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.

e things you listed literally dont matter to me

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.
