USB Drive Max Size

[myothercarizahearse]

I use a USB drive with wav files since there aren't cd players anymore. Does anybody know from first hand experience or point me to official data on max limit for the size of drive you can use? I have a huge cd collection. so far I have 64GB with 1685 tracks on shuffle and looking for more. that's not even close to making a dent and I might need a half terabyte of space. And before the blah blah blah MP3 comment.... no. sound quality is never good enough

I use an inexpensive 500gb flash stick...only have 50gb of music on it for now...

I'm using a Samsung 3.1-drive 256 GB flash drive that so far is loaded with about 180 GB of music.
It takes the factory radio about a minute or two to finally load/recognize this Samsung flashdrive via the display.
But I'm "old-fashion": I have about 8 Zune mp3 players loaded with tunes and still use the Zune program to run my tunes [24,000 songs in total].

I'm going to install a "FM-Modulator" [sooner or later, have the parts to install but gotta get off my butt...] so I can go back to using a 3.5mm AUX cable to play my Zune players thru the factory radio...

I have an old-school Monster-Cable brand RCA-to-3.5mm cable to connect to the headphone jack on my Zune player....

I'm jealous of the zunes. I miss my old creatve jukebox. that thing played any codec you could throw at it and coupled to some awesome sennheisers it was aurally orgasmic.


what file systems are you using on usb drives?

i have a 64 gb full of music and it seems to work fine reads fast etc. still sounds like poo though. i would imagine you could get as big a usb storage as you wanted but may have to wait for it work longer than a smaller one.

I'm using typical CPU Windows File-Explorer via "My-Music" folder [C-Drive] to load my mp3 files onto a 256gb Samsung flashdrive.

My OE Radio is the base-model version [XLT] and it sometimes takes 3 or 5 minutes to actually recognize as "Available" or to continue playing the last song I was listening to from last drive.
I can't transfer the "playlist" commands that my Zune program created to jam to my playlists; so I just set the OE radio on "random" mode.

My Samsung flashdrive is practically loaded with my entire music collection...Depending how you look at it:
2,092 Artists/4,999 Albums/33,383 Songs

It's so annoying; that I have (3) 80gb & (4) 30gb Zune players jammed with tunes that I can't play in the Ranger...
