Thanks.
V Good question...but I can't help, sorry as I've not tried...
I scan the albums and just jump in...have two sticks with about 1,500 albums on each.

I tried formatting a 1 TB HD into two distinct Drives (A + B) trying to 'con' the system into thinking it was two separate drives, but it then missed out on a large number of albums that would not even display.

Once I got the number of files (not tracks) down below the 16,384 (on each 512GB USB stick), it worked a dream with ALL the music playable and ALL in top quality. Others in the forum(s) seem to have had issues with 24-bit Hi-Res FLAC files, yet mine play with absolute clarity.


These threads have some info on USB sticks:-
