Being of the old School, i.e. vinyl, audio cassette and CDs the thought of no  music player in the Karoq was a bit off putting.

 

Thought I better get up to speed so bought a 64Gbit SD card to transfer a few CDs.

 

After transferring a few then realised that with a CDs storage of about 50Mb I could transfer 1000 CDs to the card.  So a much smaller SD card would have been quite OK.

Obviously you'll take the opportunity to increase your music collection instead?

Yes it would and you may have been around £5 - £10  better off now!

 

The nominal price difference between a 64gb and a smaller card is hardly worth the worry.....and as John from Worksop says, you can increase your collection with little worry that you'll fill the card.

A CD can hold 650 mb. But when you rip a CD to a format like MP3, each track is only a few megabytes.

Haha.....can get a 256gb microSD and adapter for £27.75 from mymemory.com.

Thats a whole lot of music!

 

When transferring from a CD to an SD card using WMA audio coding the amount of memory taken is about 50MB per CD  i.e. about 20 CDs per Giga-Byte of memory

 

If the lossless coding WAV is chosen the quality is claimed to be of CD standard and it takes around 500MB of memory or about 2 CDs per Giga-Byte of memory. So with a 64 GB SD card even using WAV coding it will still hold around 128 CDs!

My ears are not what they used to be but doing a simple comparison test I could not tell any difference in quality in the Karoq between WMA and WAV, no doubt a difference would be noticed if the two were played over a decent HI FI system.
