[QUOTE="rsbukowski, post: 5419444, member: 605797"] Greetings, I am struggling to find sufficient information about wiring usb HD to a HU. I own a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X590. It is a 320gb HD and supposively the HU can go up to 8 folders. However I can't get past the second. It won't recognize all the audio.... I pulled some of the subdirectories and placed them on the main directory to see and now I can't even find those. For example. Rock > Aerosmith > 5 albums. Took the 5 albums labeled Aerosmith - Title into main directory with "Rock". This doesn't even show the "Aerosmith" Folders anymore. I am routing power from my cigarette lighter with a USB 2.0 plug and the HU gives out 500mA obvisouly, so the Lacie 320gb portable HD is getting sufficient power. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif[/IMG] I don't understand why it wont read the folder archive/subfolders and I dont understand why when it recognizes the folders it can't go into it. Rock>Aerosmith>Album ---but can not access folder with .mp3's Any suggestions.. It does say something about no more than 15,000 files.. how many in a 40gb HD? Does this have anything to do the bitrate? Most mp3's have been downloaded via napster days, limewire, or now torrents.
