An old Android phone, that I wouldn't use for a phone, is worth looking into, if it has a big enough screen. I won't be accessing it myself while on the road, unless my wife is driving at the time. She'll be the one picking out the music. Right now she's the one who pulls a CD from the large wallets. And if I bump up against 64 GB, I can always get a second one. Having to mess with just two isn't too bad. Thanks for the idea. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
