I didn't purchase any Wi-Fi SD cards yet, that's why I'm really curious about their Linux operating system

Recently there are some micro SD adapters and they're Wi-Fi enabled
That should cost $35 or so

Some of the best sounding DAPs (e.g. Altmann Tera-Player and PAW Gold etc.) don't have Wi-Fi hardware to begin with.
However, are they compatible with Wi-Fi SD cards or not? I wasn't exactly sure because those cards should be designed for something like a digital camera.
Let's say Wi-Fi could be enabled while the DAP itself is also powered on, it would be mighty interesting to put some files on the 4GB micro SD card before we insert that into this
The ones with odd numbers are completely silent and obviously they're designed for a buffer. Those files won't be replaced by anything at all.
And then the ones with even numbers could be constantly replaced with real music via Wi-Fi connections, depending on what we'd like to play.
Let's say we're playing Hotel California, we could create an Android / iOS app to copy the first half via Wi-Fi
And then we wanna play the second half, that Android / iOS app could simply replace 2nd / 4th / 6th / 8th track as follows
Of course we could also simplify that like this
Drawbacks are power consumption of Wi-Fi SD cards, and then no gapless playback anymore. 4GB micro SD cards should cost next to nothing these days, the wear and tear of overwriting files won't be a concern IMHO.
The greatest part is the ability to create playlist(s) for Tera-Player since it doesn't have a screen it the first place, we're essentially outsourcing that particular part if Wi-Fi SD cards were working.
Do you guys think it's relatively simple to design something like this? Maybe the challenge is looking for a developer who's willing to get the Android / iOS app done without asking for too much in return.
