BJD3 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) i also tried a 250 gb external hard drive. said the same thing. The hard drive tries to draw too much power. IDK about the 16GB.

brewer_brewer Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Posted April 18, 2009 i figured that was the problem with the 250 gb but i expected to at least be able to use a 16gb. guess i have to get (4) 4 gb. wtf.

Airborne Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 I use 4gb drives because I had the same issues. Be honest, when are you going to use that much space? That is weeks of songs if played in a row. Quote

That is weeks of songs if played in a row. I'm the same way. I have a 8 gig iphone. I have to have my entire Metallica collection with me, even though I rarely ever listen to them (i'll only listen to one or two songs on one CD at one time). I also can't have parts of a CD. Because then, I'll want to listen to a song I rarely listen to, and I won't have it. Long story short, I need AT LEAST 10 gigs of space just for music.

I listened to "Bleeding me" all the way home today. I forgot how Metallica had a good song of two in the 90's. Quote

Right now I'm stuck with a 2GB iPod, which barely holds half my music. I hate when I'm in the mood for a certain song and I don't have it on there! Quote Too many projects, too little time...
brewer_brewer Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Posted April 18, 2009 i just like to have any song i like at my disposal. the man reason i wanted it was so i could just put all my cd's on it and not have to carry my huge cd cases in my car. i've got about 400 cd's in my car right now. not burned cd's either. these are all cd's i have bought.

EricM9104 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Does the 250GB USB drive use an external power source? If so, hook it up, get a little 50w or so power inverter and power the external drive off that. Oughta do the trick.
