Yep, I have all my CD"s from back in the day stored on a flashdrive. Definitely sounds good and you can pretty much turn the volume up to near full and it's clear and loud. On a side note, apparently if you upload the player pro app to you phone and upload your music to it and connect with bluetooth, you can get even better sound and adjustability with the EQ on it to really dial things in and get even clearer and louder music. I have this on my phone but have yet to download music to it to take advantage. I need to try it out.

I know bluetooth and/or using the usb connection makes a huge difference as opposed to FM/XM. I've never done the flash drive in a vehicle. All of my music is through my phone, other than XM.

What's a good program to copy your cd's to a flash drive?

Don’t forget to copy the cover art in there too. Really nice to have it displayed during play.

YES, this and I use my phone through the bluetooth. Rarely listen to the radio, to many damn commercials and talk talk talk.

You want FLAC format for best fidelity (lossless in this case) and ID3 support. (WAV is also lossless, but lacks support for embedded metadata like song name and artist).

I use Exact Audio Copy to rip the CD and Mp3tag to clean up album tag data. Both programs are free and work well. Check out these guides on how to use EAC:

What would be the difference?

What's the best way to play music in the car? Bluetooth or USB?
