Thanks for all interesting and valuable feedback!
The remote libraries concept sounds cool also from other perspectives,
if that would finally enable us to connect to friends' libraries.
Obviously most would need to resample, but for presenting new and

The battery is an accessory you have to buy separately. It also comes
