[Electronics-Talk] Accessible MP3 Player

Fri Nov 23 14:30:09 UTC 2018

Since this MP3 player supports 64G SD cards then it supports SDXC which 
will accommodate up to 2TB of storage. Anything over 64G may not have 
been tested, but I'd feel confident that a 128G card would work. Of 
course, Lazshould be the final word on this.
