Another concern would be is the length a sound clip limited only by the size of the micro sd card used?

Yes, I have put a number of loops onto a single microSD card.  I plan on including a 640M (meg, not gig) card with the Boxcar Loop on it.  That loop is a little over 3 minutes, sounds clean and clear, and  uses about 3M on the card.

I recorded the "Thomas Loop" them song from a DVD i purchased and looped it to make a 30 minut track which uses about 30M.

So, I guess that on a 640M card you could fit about 600 minutes of whatever

And is their a limit to the number of sound clips that can be used on one micro sd card other than limit determined by the total length of all sound files and the size of the micro sd card used?

I haven't tried, but have not hit a limit. I know the sound board works with microSD cards up to 16G (gig, not meg)

If multiple sound clips are stored on a single micro sd card, when played, can they be accessed in any order and how is that done?

Because there is no display, you can't jump from Loop 1 to Loop 7.  You can hit the NEXT button to move to the next loop and press REPEAT to keep playing just that loop even though there are multiple loops on the card.

Thanks for your interest... I have used it with a number of loops on one card, and skip through to thew one I want and then repeat it.

Fabulous item you've created, Eddie, and the quick reply is definitely appreciated. Btw, when using a card containing multiple tracks am I correct to assume the play sequence of tracks always resets to track one when the power is turned off or the battery runs "dead"?

Considering the information you've given, I would like to purchase one of the units?

(Incidentally, for those people who run passenger cars, is there the possibility of a unit having the usb port and a sliding on/off switch located on the bottom of the board so it would be readily accessible from the bottom of a passenger car?)
