I have both a thumb drive and a 2.5" 80 GB HDD

Anyone notice these problems?

1) Car is running, songs are playing fine.
Then...Turn off radio, Lock car.
Later...Start car \ radio and you find that the USB device is no longer recognized - device power light is on. If you press the USB button however it doesn't work.

The only solution seems to be to unplug the device and then plug it back in. This happens about 75% of the time. In the case of the HDD it takes more than 1 minutes for the "LOADING..." process to finish.

2) Playlists (M3U) on the HDD don't show up in the car until after about 1 hour of driving. I assume it is scanning the drive for playlists while I'm driving?

Note: I only have about 9 GB of content organized like this...RootFolder\Artist\Title

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can make this more reliable? Has anyone else noticed this? Should I just use an iPod instead of an HDD?

Thanks,
Michael
