Plan

  • The Catalex serial mp3 player can probably only have 8-bit song and folder titles
    • For the device to hold every dead song, we will need to use all the folder and song ids giving 65,536 possible songs
  • The Catalex device cannot give us the file names (unfortunately), so if we want metadata, we will need to use a different SD card
    • It is possible to encode dates into the the folder-fild-id
      • For example, Dead performed for 30 years. The 65,536 song total would allow for almost 6 (5.985) shows per day
