Hi there Im using an IDA-X 100 Brilliant just copy & paste the albums from your computer on to a USB flash stick & your away …doesn’t seem to be any limit on the size of flash stick i'm currently using a 32gb  however  USB type Hard Drives are unsuitable (I tried my 320gb passport drive) you can get them to work through a USB powed hub  but every time you take the front of the radio off or stop and restart they go back to track 1 of the hard drive ….whereas a flash USB stick it will carry on from where it left off
The Menus are also easy to use
Just 1 small problem it lists albums / tracks in alphabetical order but all in all a good player & a multichanger could never touch it  :y
