I merely want to point out that memory is cheap, hearing is not. And
that Android file manager will tell you the device can only be used to

renders beautiful sound when fed these massive files. It must be a deal
with Microsoft or something. "flac" is open source. MP3 is not.

Mp3 is a patented compression technology. M$ does not own it, but patent
trolls do. Be glad that patents expire.

..wav is Microsoft .mp3 is Fraunhofer .aac is Coding Technologies. flac
and vorb are open source.
