SD Card Type & Size?
For those of you who have either have already received their RS3 (although I would hope it pertains to A3 / S3 as well) I was curious about the SD cards we are supposed to use. I am assuming its a standard SD card (so please let me know if that's a bad assumption) but my real question is .... is there a SIZE LIMIT or any other special consideration(s)? Thanks.

Also, are there any other watchouts in terms of brands, etc. Would this one work well?
Thanks.

RE: SD Cards I have another question. As per the manual, the size limit is 128GB but also according to the manual the larger the size the longer the loading time so they encourage you to use playlists, artists, etc. But my question is instead of using ONE Large 128GB SD card, should we use TWO (2) 64GB cards or does it even matter? Inquiring minds (who need to purchase) would love to know.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I did FORGET so thanks for the reminder! I see from the electronic manual is has a 10GB limit. Have you compared playing from the Jukebox vs SD card(s) in terms of download or loading time for playing? Just curious. And thanks again.

I would suspect the flash memory used for the jukebox has a parallel bus or a much faster serial bus than what is used to access an SD card.
