Due to a flaw in the KitKat 4.4.2 Android OS, music stored on the SD card can not be played. I got rid of my ipad 3 Retina in large part because there was no memory expansion for storing music. I do not want to be tied to a streaming or cloud service which makes it difficult to play what I want when I want. The display is awesome, the onboard stereo speakers are decent if a little thin sounding. But it all is for naught if I can not find a work around for the SD card issue.
Having used Samsung products in the past, I thought it would be good but the Tab S. has exceeded my expectations. Great display, great performance and great quality.
