Does anyone know what the limitations are for USB thumb drives used to store and play music through the Media Centre? I have successfully used a 256 mb Cruser Thumb drive loaded with about 160 MB of music tracks I exported from my iTunes collection, but the system only lists about 2/3 of this content (maybe about 18,000 tracks) A snag with doing it this way is that there is no random track play function, so I may have to alter the layout of the content from the currect folder structure. I do have the same content on an Apple iPod and if I connect this to the second USB port, I can select shuffle mode on the iPod.
Secondly, what about the capacity and file limits of the SD card slot?

Any info would be much appreciated!

Really, people still have USB sticks measured in MB?

Duh, sorry! I meant GB (Gigabytes) throughout.

For now I had and SD card with 62 Gb and works well, only with music on mp3 format, the flac files didn't work.
