Secure Digital, officially abbreviated as SD, is a proprietary non-volatile memory card format developed by the SD Association (SDA) for use in portable devices. Now, to store more audio files, SD cards are indispensable for devices like stereos and car players. For most music lovers, the problem of running out of memory in mobile phones often occurs.
