    Thread: Boot loop when SD inserted
Post: RE: Boot loop when SD inserted

Perhaps the data corruption happened when you were initially copying music to the card. Hopefully it stays fine now.

Post: RE: Boot loop when SD inserted

That seems like some data corruption on the SD card. Whether that's Tangara's fault or the SD card failing is hard to say.

    Thread: Tangara SD card wear leveling implementation?
Post: RE: Tangara SD card wear leveling implementation?

Wear leveling is handled by the SD card. I don't think there's anything a device interacting with the SD card needs to do.
