The SD card on my Echo Mini was full. I didn’t like the idea of navigating even more music on one device, so instead of a bigger SD card I just got another device.
This device isn’t perfect, but I can’t think of better alternative for my tastes except maybe an iPod. But those are crazy money to get upgraded to today’s standards (larger storage, lossless support, etc).
A new device, the Snowsky Echo (not mini) has been announced and also looks gorgeous. But I like the idea of having a few identical devices. I might get a third for meditations, audiobooks (despite the lack of chapter support) and ASMR.
Why not just get another SD card??
There is an ~8,000 file limit anyway so a bigger card doesn’t solve everything. But I actually get decision paralysis having more music than that on one device so I’m happy to have a few of them. I might keep classical, instrumentals and soundtrack on one.
i meant like, swapping between SD cards instead of getting a second player.
Oh, now I get you. That’s a good suggestion and I did consider that, but I would have to do a rescan every time I swap. I have ~200GB+ of FLAC files on the first card so the scan takes about 5 minutes. Too much fuss for me but might not be an issue for others.
I guess that makes sense
