This is a BS comment. Pono left this player with a usable, non-buggy UI. I still use mine and have absolutely no problems loading music or navigating the UI. I have the internal memory loaded and use a 256gb card in mine. Initial scanning may take 10-15 minutes, then after that it’s fine.
$35 android smartphone will take much less than a minute to load a microSD card.
Imagine, in the busy morning, can you really wait 15 minutes for Pono to load music?
Mine is taking 30 minutes to scan an empty card. I tried to upgrade its firmware.. it's stuck at firmware loading screen for more than an hour.
This is a very poorly programmed player. iRiver mp3 players from 2006 didn't come with this amount of software issues.
Maybe many of its users are fans of Neil Young but I don't see why we should defend a product like this.
