grin Digital Audio Player.

It seems that this means an MP3 player on steroids!!

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.

Thanks John! 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 smile

Do you know of any portables with 1-4 TB Drives ?

Thanks,
Stefan

2TB with a suitable card. No experience of it, so can't tell you anything definitive..... Thought I might buy it myself...... 4.4 jack? Unknown quantity.

That’s a joke about 128 GB not being enough, right? How many open mics do you play?

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.

Hmmmm...... I'm sure Banj has his reasons for wanting a high storage capacity. 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.

My SONY digital player is about 15 years old. It has 1 GB of storage. It’s still more than fine for everything I do. 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.

FWIW, I've just looked at the USB pen-drive I use in my car's MP3 player to get a size example.
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).

Yeah ... it's just a "me thing" for sure! I am definitely over the top when it comes to memory, I'm the guy who always gets the MAXIMUM available memory in any device that I buy. Plenty of reasons in my little brain-hole ... unless someone wants to know I'll spare the audience!

If you have too much memory, you don't have to use it.
If you have to little it's, um, let's settle on "it's an inconvenience".
