I use the USB port in the central storage box (under your elbow - not sure what the correct term is!) to listen to my music files and I worry that one day I will knock the USB stick and damage the port.
I just found this solution on a German forum. They are recommending this 90 degree USB adapter from a UK Amazon site. I've just ordered one at £4.99.

good idea & top tip, thanks... I use that to charge my work blackberry so one of those would be handy

 

[aguycalleddb]

That is a good idea, may have to invest in one

Do you still get album artwork using a USB pen, or is that only with media interface and iPhone?

 

[heliflyer]

Great idea ordered one last night before i break my stick

 

[Greguk]

Does it make a difference which USB ou buy or does artwork appear on all types?

 

[heliflyer]

I think a lot of it depends how its been downloaded to the stick in the first place i have some albums that show artwork on the screen but others that just show a music note i have found that when using itunes you can get artwork for some but not others so obviously if its not on the computer showing artwork then its not going to show on your screen cheers Ian

Great USB gadget as I have same concerns when it sticks out. I bought a 64GB USB 3.0 stick of Amazon for just short of £30. I took the albums from my iTunes folder in My Music. I too get some artwork but I think it is what was said earlier that iTunes can't always find the artwork and these are probably the missing ones.

is it a usb 3.0 on the a-class anzz?

 

[heliflyer]

Bought one of these so dont think it would last long without adapter

 

[Millsy]

What's that mate ?

 

[reza]

think its a usb stick that looks like a merc key ....

 

[Millsy]

Nice, that reminds me what's the A Class key look like

Does the USB devices allow you to scroll through folders or have it on a total mix of different tunes or only play same artist one at a time?

 

[Anzz]

Hi GregukYou can play an album at a time or you can select random for a mix of tracks.

 

[Anzz]

You can select which album you want to listen too with the scroll wheel and you can also select which track.

 

[aguycalleddb]

it depends how you save the files to it, I just copied my itunes folder straight to the usb.I get artist folders with all the albums as separate folders within. you can select a main folder and it will play all from within or let it shuffle the whole contents of the usb.

Has any one tried to see if the media interface / USB can handle video files? or is it just music.

Seen some articles about a 'media interface plus' which apparently supports video. but they are from 2010

is it a usb 3.0 on the a-class anzz?

It's not USB3.0 on the car but I have it on my laptop and it meant the download onto the stick was quicker.
PS. Ordered one of those USB adapters. Thanks for posting the info mon2s I'd have never found it!
