using a hard disc drive with media device interface

[Maverick]

Thanks for that,

When trying to format the HDD, the max size I could make the partition while still using fat32 format was 32 gig. otherwise it forced me to use NTFS.

You can create a fat32 volume greater than 32GB, google it. There are plenty of people with a 500GB+ hard drive running via the MDI connector.

I have tried a few combo's out with the HDD since first posting the thread, if i had too many folders available, it didnt work - eg i had all the artists in folders under their name, under a main folder labelled 'music' it didnt work, and would skip and freeze like you said.

You NEED to have folders or you will have problems. I have information on my website about how the music should be laid out.
