Re: Recording to Hard Drive
Hi Steve
the couple of albums I loaded to the HDD were in MP3
I've only put a couple of just to see I could do it, the rest are either on a memory stick or ipod....

Re: Recording to Hard Drive
Also using MP3 @ 320kbps rate - sounds good. I haven't tried any other formats though...

Hi
Im using a seagate 250 Gb HDD from Tesco £38 and it works a treat , I thinks its a bit quicker than my ipod too.
You just have to re-format it to FAT32 using some software downloaded from seagate's website called "DiscWizard",
This is because windows will not format a usb HDD to FAT32 bigger than 32GB ,
the software does it for you in minutes, then you can put all ur music on it
Here's the link for the software

Re: Recording to Hard Drive
I'm happy with the 18GB the unit gives me as I only select songs I want to listen to (one or two from an album etc), thank god for the steering wheel otherwise I'd be skipping tunes all the time on the head unit. But with my unit being restricted to 2GB SD, I think a HDD may be in order. Just need a caddy as I can get a HDD to fit it elsewhere.
