I need to ask a few questions - particularly about file management. Where are file copies stored on Nexus? How are edited files synced with files on SD card ? Is cloud storage a part of Polaris ? Etc

Try PowerAmp. I've downloaded a thousand wma files stores on my PC under WMP without any problem

After 6 months of predictable battery performance my N7 (2013) suddenly requires more frequent charging. I see that apps at start-up are as expected; app power usage seems normal; Wifi, gps, bluetooth are off when nor required, and usage are as they always have been. Battery discharge is noticeably faster than before.
Also, full start-up (from power-off) seems slower.
Perhaps there is something running in the background that I cannot see, or there is wake-lock activity. Is there a tool or procedure that can determine this? (My Nexus in NOT rooted). Perhaps the battery itself has degraded over time
Any suggestions on how to track this down?

An OTG cable and the Nexus Media Importer only allow you to read from USB flash drives
Not true! Latest Nexus Media Importer allows both read and write to flash.

Use your OTG cable in conjunction with "Nexus Media Importer" app (see Play store). Allows you to read/write between N7 and flash drive (or memory card and reader). OK for pix, vids, docs, music, etc. No rooting required.

Of course that will work -- but not much fun when you have a dozen open tabs and large fingers. Hence my question.

Any idea what 4.4.1 fixes or adds to N7 w/wifi ?

I've used 128 and then 64 with WMA coding; and 32 on MP3. My 70+ ears could not tell the difference -- even with top-end earbuds. With N7 internal speakers the quality is poor enough so that I'm sure any bit rate will be OK

Just installed KitKat and noticed that startup (cold boot) seems much longer that with 4.3. With wifi "off" Here is what I'm seeing:
From side-button press to moving circles -- 15 sec
From circles to icons on screen -- another 15 sec
From icons on screen until notifications appear -- another 15 sec
From notifications until (daily calendar) widget app data -- another 15 sec
So about a minute start-up until I'm fully operational. What's your experience with this?
Of course this doesn't happen often since most of the time my N7 is sleeping or awake. Ever since KK my mag-cover works reliably with or without wifi enabled.

I've only had KK for a day, but I notice that it takes a few seconds longer to boot up after a conld start. Also notification apps (battery, outside temp, calendar, time of day, etc) take about a minute to appear -- about twice as long as with 4.3. On the other hand, my (Poetic) magnetic-wakeup case seems to now function reliably, whereas with 4.3 I needed to keep wifi "on" to wake-up when case was opened. Notifications appear instantly.
Not too big a problem (yet). I'll simply turn on N7 once in the AM and let mywake-up case do its thing during the rest of the day. Interested in seeing how this affects battery drain (less grain with KK I'm told).

Finally received KitKat and (with some trepidation, in view of the many problem reports) installed it on N7 (2013) and N7 (2012). Sort of a "ho-hum" experience. Not much visible difference. Some icon and color changes. Perhaps the real changes are "under the hood". Did not experience any of the horror stories reported on the Android sites. Startup (cold start) seems a bit slower but case-magnet sleep and wake-up appears to now work reliably. (In 4.3 this function required that wifi be "on" in order to wake). All of my apps seem to work as before.
Please (continue to ) share your 4.4 experiences. What's different; what works (better); what does not?

The 110V charger that came with my Nexus 7 (2013) delivers an output of 5.2V at 1.35A. Can I assume that a car charger, with micro-USB connector, that plugs into my cigarette lighter and delivers an output of 5V at 2A will charge my N7 just fine?

Easiest way is to look for camera on the back (in addition to the one on the front). If you've got it then it's Gen2 --Nexus7 (2013)

Unable to do this with N7

Just checked Chrome on my Nexus 7 (2013) and I found that I have dozens of open tabs. Not sure how I accumulated all of these but I'd like to close them without x-ing out each one individually. Could not find an option for this. Seems absurd. Is there an easy way to "close all tabs"?
