Has anyone tried a usb powered harddrive on their car. Such as the Western Digital Passport (below) or the smart disk fire lite?

Hi, i am having a hard time getting the playlists to show up on my USB stick on my I drive dispay, i have a 2008 M3 with USB.

I followed your instructions on this thread and can see all my music by artist, song, etc... and it looks like i can click on Playlist but when i do nothing shows up. I changed the M3U status as you recommended but not sure how to check it that it was changed and cant seem to view a playlist from Window media player on the USB, but can easily see it on my PC?

Any other advice you could give would be greatly appreciated on how i can accomplish using playlists on the I drive.

Thanks

When you've finished click on "save playlist". The playlist will be saved to <user name>/Music/Playlists. Go there, find the playlist (make sure it has been saved as a .m3u file) you have created and copy it to the root directory of your USB drive. Done.

I tried it with a 500GB Seagate FreeAgent Go and it did not recognize the hard drive.
