Currently, I have a 128GB Micro SD in my 16GB Samsung Galaxy S4. I attempted to purchase a 200GB SanDisk one on Amazon, then Best Buy websites. Unfortunately, they both were fake. I looked up alternatives, while a friend of mine said cloud storage will do. But I'm not sure about cloud storage, because it might increase my phone bill if I use mobile data with it. There are also micro USB adapters, but after mounting them, the data in them don't feel like they are fully inside my phone.

How do I have a bigger library of music than 128GB?

Why do you need more than 128GB of music on your phone at any given time?

This.

Marc rep me for that plzkthx

People here are insane.

Indeed. And nice TMNT 2K3 avatar. I enjoyed it back when it was on Fox Box, 4KidsTV and CW4Kids.

I found a 500 GB SeaGate Wireless Portable Hard Drive, but it has mixed reviews.

I bought the 128GB iPhone 6 for that reason - more space = more music. Plus space for your contacts, texts, documents, apps, pictures - everything. It's not just 128GB of music.

I've got a 16 GB iPhone 5C, which immediately went down to 12 GB, at least now it is.

These days, 128 GB is not that crazy.

It's only 6 GB less than my iTunes library! (134.68 GB) :p

There's got to be a better way to say that.

Yeah, I would never buy a phone with such small capacity. After you load your contacts and start taking pictures and sending/receiving texts, 16GB basically becomes 10GB (or 12, in your case). And that ain't shit for space when it comes to music. If there's a 256GB iPhone 7, I'm gonna get it.

Right on.

The 200GB from Sandisk is derived from the Calculation of 1000MB=1GB. It is not fake. Rather than using the standard 1024GB=1GB like all computers these days. So on your S4 (I have the Note 4) it reads as 184GB. This is normal. It is not fake! It simply uses a different calculation. It is 200GB when 1GB=1000MB.

I have it on my phone because I keep my lossless collection on it. Which is exponentially large.

Gotta tell ya, it makes a lot more sense to just be carrying extra sd cards if you absolutely need to have more space.

I believe that having it all in one place is more efficient.

Well yes, but if you absolutely need to carry over the median storage space offered, then removable media is the way to go.

I know it's real, but fake ones are becoming quite common. What's the safest place to purchase one? Is the micro USB port below the phone useful for porting extra storage?

wanting 1tb card my phone... to many lossless, lol

OTG for usb port on phone with flashdrive working well, but drain battery and not convenient.

All in one place, on me at all times.

It's the best choice.

fake ones

They're not fake.
Numbers is a real issue, and they can legally say this or that.
They stipulate on their site that they assume 1MB = 1,000,000 bytes
https://www.sandisk.com/home/memory-cards/sd-cards/ultra-plus-sd

You can read about differences in numbers:
https://superuser.com/questions/373579/is-it-true-that-1-mb-can-mean-either-1000000-bytes-1024000-bytes-or-1048576-by
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix#List_of_SI_prefixes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Specific_units_of_IEC_60027-2_A.2_and_ISO.2FIEC_80000
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte

In the old days, 1MB = 1K bytes was applied to internet transfer rates while 1MB = 1024 bytes was for storage.

You can call them fake all you want. But they're not. They're technically correct and %100 legal.
You just have to deal with the current market limitations and blame blind users for accepting the market as it is.

If your music is lossless, convert to AAC@192. It will be transparent to the source.
Don't associate it with MP3 quality or numbers. AAC@192 does not equal MP3@192.
Unless you're under the age of 25 with expensive foriegn named headphones (Japanese and German brands are still the gimmick; generic brands have even adopted their names to sound like prestigious labels, like knock-off movies pretending to be box office titles), you won't know the difference.

It also depends on the software player.
VLC is simple. You won't really get anything advanced on Android with VLC.

If you pay for an app, get Neutron player.
It supports ReplayGain and floating-point decoding for precision. (as apposed to something simple like VLC that would probably decode lossy sources as 16bit integers.)

You reiterated what I already said Spark. Thanks for the extra info <3

It didn't get through the first time.

Except you can get fake ones on ebay or wherever. These types of fakes tend to be a smaller size card with the partition table altered so that it shows up as a larger card.

It's not about gibibytes v. gigabytes

^He's right. There are several YouTube videos on YouTube alerting buyers of their existence.

*bump*

What about a travel router with USB and SD card ports?

are you using lossless??

Go into a store where they're not likely to sell fake stuff.
Convert it all to 192/AAC.
Prioritize your cards then just switch them like a human.

At this point, you're going full borg.

Like Newegg for instance? I'm mostly using 320 MP3 type.
