One plus One equals more capacity...

Officially it was minus Three degrees c when I woke up on the day this was written, only venturing as far as the bins as it was too icy for me to get about.

Given some of the things I had in mind were off I had been working on redoing some albums on the earliest micro SD cards which go back to around Twenty Ten when using lossy digital file formats was a must as good as the programs I used to do that with (and in isolation you'd be happy enough with it).

Ultimately they may be retransferred to a new higher capacity card as much to minimize the risk of card failure as much as that redoing a significant number will need more space the the old cards could allow for.



With two others that were done in the much better sounding Lossless form you could either attempt to merge them to one card but all but one player may struggle handling a card with a capacity over 128gb reliably or getting a player a bit newer than the oldest but came with two card slots and the ability to accept 256gb cards that is exactly two times 128gb.

That means you can just take the existing cards and slot them in and they'll be properly indexed working as if you'd of put the contents one a single new card.

That was the plan with getting the FiiO X5 mk 2 from 2016 that has the same old hat but easy to use jog wheel with press keys rather than modern touch screens that I find hard going and it was their top model back then with excellent audio.

Job done

 

Portable sound of sorts has been about since people started going out and wanting favourite sounds from pocket instruments, attaché case portable radios, record players tape and cds machines and so on.

We just seem to want that sound - our favourites - with us and at consumer shows like CES some of these things have been seen making a bit of a comeback with Toshiba's Sound Burger a open wide and play portable player selling well.

We have actually made our Pop and Rock lossless micro sd card from copies of my own cds and bought downloading 80's favs like Martha & The Muffins, 24 bit remasters by Rush and Taylor Swift's albums that only were on Mp3's on another card although the nature of it is other recordings will be added and I have added a few things to other cards too.

And we have a New unused player with case too to enjoy them on when I want to be free from staring at screens that really doesn't do me any good at all. 

Unfortunately unlike older cassette players there's no belt clip to put around my grey short trousers so you have to hold it in your hand but hey we've done it!
