"For the first time in the history of mankind
a pocket size music-player is being offered
that delivers super-fidelity sound quality"
The Altmann Tera-Player
The Altmann Tera-Player is the simplistic music player capable of high-resolution audio playback and superior sound-quality.
In fact, full resolution CD quality is the lowest playback mode that the Tera-Player is capable of.
Where other digital audio players end-up, the Tera-Player just starts out.

On the left: first production unit #1, on the right: Tera-Player #0 (reliability testing prototype) with scratch marks from dropping ... and opening beer bottles.
You should not do that except of course in an emergency situation.
The laser engravement on the Tera-Player's rear side.
On the MAC you can use the free XLD software to load the music on the SDHC card for your Tera-Player. I have XLD configured to convert all incoming files (Apple Lossless, Flac, ogg, mp3, etc.) to WAV while copying to the SDHC card.
On the Windows PC you can use the excellent XRECODE software for converting and copying files to the SDHC card
Both work very well.

... cannot get enough of it :-)
According to Scientific American, the memory capacity of the human brain is about 2.5 petabyte.
Do you have 5 byte left over for your personal use ?
