Does IPOD have flash drive ability? Is it possible to use this Ipod as a flash drive when connected by USB to a computer?

Absolutely - Simply check "Enable Hard Drive Use" in iToons when you're setting up prefs and the deal is done. If you do not want the computer to affect the music just UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" in prefs. If u plug into a different computer and iToons opens, just quit itoons immediately as it opens. You may get a notice that iToons is updating the ipod. Click ok & just quit the pgm. Just remember, after you eject the ipod (properly-right?) the iPod will still show the red "Do Not Disconnect" symbol. Respect its wishes. It will dissappear in a moment. Then pull the cable. End of story. I currently have about 5 gigs of backup info on mine & it is a real lifesaver. Hope this helps

Try to update your computer to USB 2.0 if you can. iPods transfer music files at 60MB per second, but can only transfer at 1.5MB per second if you don't have USB 2.0.

Yes, you can play music directly from a flash drive. You can plug in an size flash drive into the usb port.

Ummm The usb port is to accept songs from a jumpdrive (USB Stick) not from an ipod. It is not like a usb port on your computer. it is just a simple interface for reading memory sticks. It does not have the power capabilities for charging. If you search jump drive on amazon you will see the device the usb hole is for. again its not like a usb port on your computer... this one is limited... if you want to use it with your ipod you are limited to using the phono cable (headphone jack) and plugging it in that way. Then it only sends the music and all playlist and song controls are done by your ipod. (if you want to skip a song. use the ipod controls to do it... not the FM transmitter).

I don't know about an Ipod/Iphone as I have nether but I have a flash drive in both and I can switch between each and listen to their content.

I'm waiting for a 128gb flash player that SOUNDS good, and can be loaded with a standard usb cable, and not requiring some proprietary software (read itunes). I test drove a 64gb ipod touch when it first came out, because my 16gb cowon iaudio7 is too small, but it sounded terrible, admittedly it was a stock set of tunes ripped at a low bit rate, but when I wanted to load up my own max bit rate tunes to it, the geniuses at the apple store couldn't fathom why someone would want to listen to tunes they'd ripped themselves, or how to make it happen. Hopefully someone raises the bar on storage space and sound quality, neither of which should be hard at this point. I wish someone would swing for the fences and do a flash 256gb player. I have to admit, I'm anachronistic, in that I don't want internet access, apps, videos, etc. just a gigantic music player that's not disk based (use it on a motorcycle, drop it constantly on the commute), that sounds fantastic and has great battery life. The more things a device does, the performance of each of those things suffers.

It does not have a flash drive connection. Only connections are via mic. If you want ti play digital music, you can always connect a media player (laptop, ipod, ipad, ettc)

sorry I have never tried the random play with CD drive, and I am not sure what you mean by flash drive...if you use an Ipod, the Ipod has the random play on itself.

First, this turntable lasted less than 1 year. I took it apart and decided the power circuits in the board had died. Yes, you can play iPod through USB

It comes with a basic USB cord that you can plug into a computer. I can't remember for sure if it came with a wall plug in though...if not you can just use a standard iPod one.

I don't own an ipod. But the only input is from the small end of the standard USB cable. I am not aware of any dapter that would do accomplish this. However, I would assume you be able to use iTunes straight from the computer . The nicest function of the gb-10 for me is that you can actually upload the music right to the unit, which kind of makes it your ipod. The sound is great also.

Yeah what's up with that? I'm having the same issue. iPod recently stolen and have been using a USB stick. Guess I'm gonna have to write Pioneer unless I find a solution online. Let me know if you do and I will do the same.

Deborah,We still have not been able to use the Flash drive that we bought from amazon. We cannot recommend it to you until we receive assistance with downloading the app that is required to use the flash drive. Certainly is not simple and easy as most other flash drives we have has experience with.

Yes you can. All mp3 playes when connected to a computer act just as a USB flash memory.

Yes, you will be able to access all information stored on your iPod hard drive. I have purchased this item to use for accessing the hard drive after my iPod broke, installation was simple and it has been working fine since.

yes! that is the purpose. the i-flashdrive has connections for apple on one end and usb on the other with 16gb storage inbetween. really great device.
