Restorations

Looking into the question of the missing Digital Music Players and more importantly the cards that were in them it looks that most can be replaced.

This is either in the case of some rock high defination downloads, they were backed up on a external hard drive and regular files were from discs that I had and still have so should over time I wish restore them as I have an an excellent cd ripping (copying) program that does lossless files with embedded art.

In others, lossless downloads, increasingly 24 bit are available from sites at cost that do sound sound very good sometimes with Pdf booklets too.

The history of downloads goes back almost as much as this blog thus there was always a legacy of Mp3 and Apples Aac files often downloaded from those heady days in 2008-2010 when downloads free of any digital rights management became available  as well as those I made myself when players were smaller had limited memory and everything was set around that

It's ironic that these older cards still survive as curated but making a new card will to be tied in getting a newer player to take full advantage of higher capacity cards, more suited for lossless espcially higher defination downloads as much as anything redone can be played from the Windows laptop.
