[QUOTE="maxmodder, post: 7632687, member: 590356"] While my old school pioneer 6900UB works great with my 32GB ipod, (over 7000 songs organized by artist/album/songs and displaying perfectly on the 6900UB display) I would like for it to work with a much bigger HD. I have about 90 Gigs of music and was told that a Simpletech Sp-U25/80W only takes 500mA, and that the head unit will power it. I hooked the USB dongle directly to the HD using a usb A to mini B adapter and it powers on fine. (very short wire so less power consumption) Unfortunately this head unit can't seem to sort though the file structure which is artist/album/songs on a HD like it can an ipod. When there's only a few folders on it, the HD reads and plays fine so you know it's formatted correctly to FAT32. I loaded up 21,000 files on 1900 folders in an artist/album/song structure and it won't read it. I let it run for 10 minutes. I even tried hooking up an external cig lighter adapter for additional power, but still no luck. The blue light flashes and the red light stays constant, but that's about it. What type of head unit is PROVEN to be able to handle that much data on an external hard drive and quickly? From these posts, people were so excited about using the Simpletech HD with this unit, but whats the point of having 20,000+ songs all in the same folder and not being able to navigate quickly to the song you want like you can on the ipod?
