    I recently decided to buy a DAP (digital audio player, modern day MP3 player) because I’m sick of dealing with no aux port on my phone, ads in my music players - including the native music app I can’t uninstall, wireless speakers taking longer to get working each time than it does to pick the songs to play, and wireless speakers only working with their specific apps and being intentionally bricked by the app when your model gets too old. (looking at you Sonos and Google).

    Went to buy an SD card for it and was shocked by the prices. Somehow the cheapest I could find was Nintendo/Mario branded for the switch. All the other 256gb sd cards cost more than the DAP itself. Some were triple the price.

    Also I would like to add, never buy Sonos. You will regret it.
