Also, does anyone know if playlists can play off of a flash drive?

yes, you can put yor music on the flash drive, but i don't know about playlists on a flash drive, though

the Zune works fine. there's a video of someone connecting theirs via USB & it works perfectly

for one, the aux jack uses an analog signal. anything you could plug headphones into will work with the aux jack.

i highly doubt MP3 & WAV files will be the only formats supported. pc guys have tons of WMA files, WMV/MP4/MOV (mac) files (for watching videos on the player), M4V, M4A, M4B. most lossless CD rips are AIFF. iTunes downloads are usually AAC. i'm willing to bet even BWAV files are read

fixed

The USB port will support the IPOD, ZUNE, USB Drive.

It will support MP3's and WMA files.

For the USB drive it will scan the drive for the music files and then allow you to select them from the Stereo.

true

i'd say so... it probably just ignores them
