thought i'd start a thread of memory cards which seem to work good for Tangara
personally I don't have a recommendation other than to stay far away from getting a 1.5tb SanDisk Ultra microSD

Ive been having trouble with a samsung 256GB evo select microsd card. database refusing to index everything. gonna get a sandisk come payday.
SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I
I really had to jam the cover on and it scraped off more plastic than I would have hoped.
Uh-oh. I think I spoke too soon...
I had been using a SanDisk Ultra 80MB/s SDHC1 32GB card, but last night I started getting a toooonnn of skipping.
My Tangara was fully charged and I was listening on wired headphones.
For some reason, this 1 specific FLAC song had a REALLY hard time playing. Pausing the song for a second and then resuming it helped it play for a few seconds uninterrupted, but very soon after heavy skipping started happening again.
I still have automatic database scans off.
I ended up buying a Samsung 128GB Pro Plus (for professionals) SDXC1 180MB/s reads and 130MB/s writes card. After copying stuff over to this card, the skipping is gone...
Not sure why that 1 specific FLAC file caused the Tangara to choke up on the old card...
Also, I believe I was using about 90% of the 32GB card's capacity. With the new card, my usage is down to about 50% of 128GB. Not sure if that matters.
I use a Kingston SDIT/32 and it has worked well so far. I will probably upgrade to the 64 GB version of this card if I run of of space on my current one.

I was using a SAMSUNG EVO Plus Micro SDXC 512GB, which was not working.
I have switched to a SABRENT Rocket V60 512GB SD, which seems to have indexed my whole library correctly (though the SD card cover did bend the SD card a very scary amount). Time will tell if it plays things nicely!
This thing all things devours...
