Hi, sorry to hear about your SD card woes. A few people have reported issues with Samsung microSD cards in particular, though we've bought some to investigate and haven't run into the issues ourselves.
There's a number of things that could cause a crash, so it might be unrelated to the SD card. A boot loop after a crash might indicate some corruption to the filesystem or the database, especially if the crash was during a database update. If it's crashing frequently, you may want to disable the automatic database update on boot (in Settings -> Database) and run it manually whilst not playing anything, to reduce the chance of a crash during the update.
If your music is in flac or opus, please check these tracks don't have embedded cover art, as this is a known crash bug currently affecting those formats as well.
Also the database itself is stored on the SD card, so make sure to leave some additional room on the card for these files. They don't take up a lot of space on the card, but having a mostly full SD card can cause slow writes as well.
Hope this helps!
