My #tangara arrived! It's a completely open-source portable media player designed and built right here in #Australia (you don't see that as a country of origin often!).
I've been keenly awaiting this thing's arrival - it's a key step in my plan to unplug from commercial streaming systems and to get back control of my own music collection again.

"For storage, #Tangara relies on a full-size SD card, which means you can easily add up to 2 TiB (!) of capacity to your device. And, assuming you don’t need quite that much room, you can find inexpensive SD cards just about anywhere in the world."

The big question after that, is if the software can cope with 5000 artists, 10k albums and >75k tracks along with 25k playlists (.m3u8).
IMHO that's a problem with almost all music players, phone and PC. They tend to grind to a halt with simple indexing, searching.
