Thanks for the replies all!

I toyed with it a little more tonight and was able to get a flash drive working on it. My guess with the hard drive is that the usb outlet in the car may not push enough power to power the hard drive and access the songs....or it just could be that I have so much on the drive that it is overloaded. I got a smaller flash drive to work just fine but I sadly couldn't get it to recognize folders.

I do have a netbook and think I may use that when we are travelling. I'll probably just use this and maybe a couple other flash drives to access day to day music with. My wife does have an 80 gb ipod. It's not enough to tackle our entire music collection (120 gb) but I think I may try that out tomorrow and just refresh it with the stuff we like most.

I was able to pair my iphone to the stereo (via the bluetooth) and stream music through pandora too....that will work nicely as well. I plan to do alot of research on all this and continue to try to get it all working as needed so if anyone else has anyone questions and wants to post it here I may be able to help on it in the future when I've done some homework about all this stuff. This was the first night that I've really had the car so I'm still sort of a noob at the moment.
