This is all germane to me. It looks like I'm going to have to get a new cellular service plan and probably new cellular phone, too (can you detect the enthusiasm in my voice? ha).

Whether or not a phone plays DSD or not is probably not going to be all that important when all's said and done. The only time that I'm going to obtain a DSD is when I catch one free. I can't or won't pay for the improvement, I don't have the equipment to do it justice and don't foresee buying it anytime in the future, and don't have the ear to tell the difference (literally, "ear" and not "ears." I don't think that my hearing has been the same in one ear since a nurse practioner, registered nurse, whoever at an urgent care, where I went for pain in an ear from wax accumulation, place put some stuff in ear and let it boil for 5 minutes. I checked the box that the stuff came in, and it said 3 minutes! The hearing in that ear has slowly improved from her treatment, but I'm still not sure that it's back to where it used to be. Ah, the joys of living in a backwater . . . .)

I also understand that Sony may be taking an interest in trying.

It's good to know that I'm not losing my mind, and that I was right (well, I may be losing my mind, but this doesn't indicate it. ha) about the rarity of Sony phones.

Just as a close out - I downloaded the Chopin DSD file you linked to earlier and can confirm that Sony's Media Go application plays it on the PC just as Sony claims.

(My Sony phone also played it, so that was good to confirm for me too.)

Thanks.

This is a DSD64. Not all audio players can play this format, apparently. Yours may not. I couldn't find one among the players (freebies, shareware, etc.) on my computer that would. I'm going to find one, if possible, on CNET downloads or somewhere else. In the meantime, if you find a free one that will play this, please pass along the information to the rest of us.

https://www.nativedsd.com/. Link is near the top of the page on a semi-transparent button on a photo of Naum Grubert (dressed in a suit!) walking through some sand dunes).
Apparently, some people had problems receiving the freebie using the link that I gave above. There may not have been any MobileReaders among those people, but in case there were, native DSD is giving this link to the free track.

Classic Select has Jazz 4-CD box sets on sale again, and most of them seem to be cheaper than on Amazon. https://www.classicselect.com/collec...ed-sets?page=1

These are put out by Real Gone Jazz and I've got a few from them. I've been happy with their quality.

Featuring the voice talents of Drake Bell (Superhero Movie, “Drake and Josh”), YouTube star Justine “iJustine” Ezarik and Jane Lynch (“Glee”, Wreck-It Ralph), "A Stork's Journey" follows Richard, a sparrow orphaned at birth and raised by storks who believes that he is a stork, too!

But does the storybook tell everything about storks? In particular, how storks don't really take new babies to houses, but newborn babies are brought to houses by the parents having s*x?

On second thought, I guess that the kids need to be a little older than the target age of this movie before they learn about that . . . . ha

In all seriousness, the mother of an Alabama friend of mine told her daughter that she (the mother) had found her under a cabbage leaf! I don't know how old the daughter was before she discovered the truth. Probably some time after learning that there really was no Santa Claus or tooth fairy.

Storks have long sharp beaks. Mama storks use their beaks to knit baby sock monkeys just before delivering them. That's how I came to be

I'm glad you posted this because I was going to, but got so caught up in placing an order yesterday that I completely forgot to post it here. I got quite a haul for only $23.
