Good News: You can run an external hard drive through your USB which means in theory you could have a MASSIVE music collection at your fingertips - I hooked a 320GB drive up and it worked flawlessly...once you format it correctly...your hyundai will not work with NTFS...must be FAT formatted.
Bad News: You car has a 2000 folder and 6000 file limitation....which means your menu will only read 2000 folders and 6000 files before it just stops reporting them. The folder limit is not a big deal for me but the file limit is. Alphabetically my music collection stops reporting at around L cuz that is where I hit the 6000 file mark...yes...I have that many songs.
While I understand that this will be fine for 99% of people it's a tad frustrating. So all this disccusion of mass storage and having massive music collections at your disposal is moot. The reality is that the average song is 4MB and your limit is 6000 so you really can't use more than 24GB of music....obviously if your files are extremely large this equation changes....
Sooo tragic too...the 320GB drive fits nicely in the compartment right above the USB port....
Thanks for the confirmation. This is the type of response I was looking for, although Im not happy about your actual answer!
Assuming 12 songs per CD, 6000 songs is like having a 500 disc CD changer in the car. While it would be nice to have an entire music collection, having immediate access to 500 CDs, especilly if they were compilation CDs with only the good songs should give you enough music to rotate through for a very long time.
If you are truly nuts about music, you could probably get a couple different 32 GB flash drives, and have 6000 songs on one, 6000 on another, etc, and just rotate them. That wouldnt be too bad IMO.
Anyway, thanks again for the response!
