As a follow up, is it possible to put mp3's on a DVD data and transfer them to the music box that way? It would be a major pain to drag out all of the cd's (if I could find them) and have the music box rip them to the hdd. Otherwise i would just use the usb with a 32gb SD card to listen to music. Only pain with that is the connection is lost to the usb drive sometimes and then it spends a minute reading the usb drive and then starts the music playing over from the start. I know, life is hard sometimes...lol
