[QUOTE="Chad T, post: 6356565, member: 568860"] Thanks for the replies. Not much love for the Ipod so far. Before I posted I was actually kinda leaning towards USB flash drives. Regarding my CD collection, I actually have probably around 600 to 700, but I probably listen to maybe 200 or 300 the most. The others rarely get played. If I were to rip to high bit rate MP3, if my math is correct, I could probably get 8 full CDs per GB. If I went with 16GB sticks (appears they can be bought for around $25 to $40 each), that would be around 128 albums per flash drive. So I could probably fit most of what I listen to onto 2 or 3 sticks. Or I could maybe even get by with just one 32GB stick. I also like how I could put a flash drive on the head unit's pigtail cable, then easily tuck it behind a dash panel behind my transmission housing.....and not worry about it. I did a few test rips and organized it to where each artist got a separate folder, then each album got another folder, then each song got a separate file. That seemed to work pretty well with my Kenwood, but I'm still learning and know enough just to be dangerous. lol. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
