I appreciate the line breaks
in
your post.

I would suggest that perhaps a more relevant factor is not the file type in
question: it's the unreliability and inconsistency of service from an "SD"
or flash device that makes it probably a bad target for multimedia storage.

I'm sure your device is excellent: there are many others that are not. Thus
the world probably gains more - and even you gain more - by those people
working on other functionality first. Once they get closer to Greatness,
they can perhaps circle back around to the concept of playing multimedia
from potentially-flakey devices. Again, I'm sure yours works great, but the
team generlaly caters more to the global picture. =\

Is Microsoft being intentionally obtuse on this issue?
SD card is just like a flash drive, in that it is a storage device.
Mobile phones use mini-SD cards to store stuff like mp3 files.
Microsoft sound recorder only records in wma format.
Mobile phones play mp3.
Microsoft seems to be attempting to avoid the obvious
by ignoring the fact that mp3 is a standard format.
The correct answer would be to advise the gentleman
to save his music files as mp3 from Sound Recorder.
It is inconceivable that no one at Microsoft knows how to make this
happen.
The strategy of making it inconvenient to use Microsoft products to
interface with devices using a de facto standard not invented at Microsoft
is
a loser.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital for information about
how secure digital cards work. These are more likely to be used on
cameras and other small devices than desktop computers. If your
computer has no slot for a SD card, there are active adapters that
allow connection of the SD card to computers with USB inputs. See the
given url for more details. Once you have the card connected to the
computer it should appear as another drive on the computer and you can
record mp3s or other files you have on your computer on the card, much
as you would record a mp3 you have on your C-drive to a second drive
on your computer.

I assume you want to play the mp3s stored on the card on a device
other than a desktop computer that has a SD card slot input, but no
USB flash card input. If you have a USB 2 input on the device on which
you wish to play the mp3s, you likely will be better off to use a USB
flash card. For instance, I use one to play mp3s and jpgs on my HD TV
which has a USB input for this purpose. You just plug the USB flash
card into the computer and record what you wish on it. Then you plug
in the flash card to the TV and play it there according to the TV
instructions. There are many USB flash cards. For example, a Kingston
8GB Data Traveler 100 has been selling for under US$ 20 on some web
stores such as Amazon and eBay. This would hold a huge number of mp3s.
USB flash cards with less capacity are cheaper yet, and cards with
much higher capacity are available at much higher prices.
