Using a External Hard Drive for stereo


Beanz

Recommended Posts

SO i have a pionner avh-x4500bt and i was wondering if i could use a External Hard drive to use it for all my music and videos or would i have to do some converting or am i just plain stupid?

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

With the price of USB memory sticks being so cheap your better off having a few of them and they will load a lot faster then a external hard drive.

$15.88 for 16gb

Yeah i wanted to go that route but i would proably lose them or they would get misplaced since how small these things are getting .. i was looking at a 64 but with all my music and videos i would be way over a 64

From what I have heard the high capacity memory stick read slower then the smaller ones.

Think of it this way.. one memory stick for Demos, one for Sound quality, etc..etc...

try not to lose them. leave them in the car :)

You could always buy some USB drives with lanyards and hang them on your rearview mirror ot something but having an external hard drive would be pretty cool.

Yeah well this stereo i have about 8Gb or stuff on it and it reads it all quick and gets to the songs stupid quick so i mean im sure if i get like a 200gb hard drive it should fix all what i need...Rater than getting a Ipod that when i run outta memeory i have to get a newer one or get rid of the songs

That's why they don't deliver.
