very good suggestion for any device that depends on contacts subject to corrosion and/or oxidation!

Follow Ups:
The contacts on both my players and the contacts on the memory cards and flash drives are all gold plated. However, I still experienced periodic dropouts until I decided to apply Caig DeoxIT Gold to the contacts.
Best regards,
John Elison
Gold plating may be applied in varying thicknesses.
"When connectors are plated with a very thin "flash" gold deposit (less than 10uin, 0.25um) the gold is a very porous. The gold plating thickness may look continuous but there are thousands of microscopic pores in the deposit making it more like a thin screen of gold rather than a continuous pore-free layer. Although the gold plating may not readily react to corrosive environments, the pores in the gold provide a path to the base material which will allow the substrate to oxidize and corrode through the gold." https://advancedplatingtech.com/
Regardless of how thick or thin the gold plating is, Caig DeoxIT Gold solved my dropout problem.
Thanks!

You're welcome! I hope Caig DeoxIT Gold solves your dropout problem, too. Let me know!
