This thing is amazing! I barely used my phone at all in the morning and all through the afternoon as I went about my business. I got sucked in for the evening onwards, but baby steps.

... I'll need to download more music, and get a bigger SD card. I've already played and replayed every single one of them I had loaded onto my Echo Mini these past 2 days.

I have gone with all FLAC too, but since failing the ABX test miserably I might switch to 320K MP3. It seems I cant tell the difference (on Bluetooth headphones, anyway). https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2015/06/02/411473508/how-well-can-you-hear-audio-quality

    That was a fun article! I played the comparison game a few times.

    I'm a classically trained musician and I was a bit of a virtuoso, so I'm trained to hear those differences. Even then, I liked the higher ratio MP3 format, the wav had too much hiss or echo for my liking. I did well on the test, apart from the Katy Perry track, it's so overproduced! Multiple layers of her own voice, honestly that sounded best in lowest quality, lol.
