Default USB Question

Just bought a Civic Sport in Canada. It has a USB cable. The owners manual says you plug a memory stick into it.

HERE'S MY QUESTIONS......

1. Can you drag & drop songs from iTunes into the memory stick ?

2. Will the names & artists show up on the radio display ?

Thanks in advance

Song files from itunes have copy protection (DRM). These files will not play on devices other than your ipod or Mac or PC itunes software. You need unprotected mp3 files.

The names should show in the display, either the file names or from tags in the mp3 files.

99 % of my files are mp3 so it looks like you have answered my question. Thanks again.

Went out and bought a 16 g memory stick. I now have the choice of over 1600 songs at my finger tips. Bwahahaha

You can also drag and drop you music files directly from the folder or folders that contain you mp3s.

Yup... I still have a few songs that show up as an 'Unplayable File" I have scanned the list of songs in the memory stick and can't find any DRM protected material. No problem,I just wait for the next playable file to be found.
