Does IPOD have flash drive ability? Is it possible to use this Ipod as a flash drive when connected by USB to a computer? ie. can I copy/store/retrieve pc files?

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.

Carl S. is correct. If you jailbreak your iPod, you might be able to use it as a flash drive and go directly to the TEAC, but I have never tried to do so.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

When you connect to your computer, your computer should recognize the device as a "USB Device." In Windows, look in "My Computer." Once you connect, you should be able to explore the device/drive. DO NOT DELETE any of the files you find. If you are successful connecting, there will be a folder that contains .mp3 files - I was successful with adding files to that folder that were then usable. However, with all that said, the device itself is very difficult to use, especially if you are expecting it to function like an "iPod." I hope this helps.

Hi Ryan A. Madden, This stereo can only accommodate up to 64GB memory of flash drive. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

I haven't connected an iPod up to it yet. It can be fully functional with any USB drive or other MP3 player though.

There may be other ways I'm not sure on that but I have been able to use my usb drives on the device with stored files photos etc . Connected a multi-port usb extension and then went to storage and there it was. Now I have not tried storing apps or app memory on it just files and photos but I'm sure u can save to it as well.

The Eee PC does not actually have a hard drive, while both of your media players do. What is more, the Eee PC comes with a 2, 4, or 8GB solid state drive, not nearly enough to cover the 60GB of music you could have. That said, it is incredibly easy to expand your Eee with SD cards, thumb drives, and external hard drives (I have a 120 GB OneTouch Mini from Maxtor and it works great). The big thing with the Eee is that it is SO small, SO portable, and SO neato that I can't recommend it enough for everyone. What's more, is it probably doesn't cost much more than your iPod. :)

yes. works very well. lightning connection side (or the 30 pin adapter) allows connection to ipod or ipad and put files on the memory stick. then take the stick to the pc and connect to the usb to have full access to those same files. works both ways. excellent device.

You store files in the small built in storage in the device or on Micro SD cards, so you can pull the files from wherever they are stored. You don't sync this device like an iPod. Media Monkey should not interfere at all with using this device.

I would like to help, but I don't own an iPod. I bought the drive to backup the files on my computer.

It comes with a USB cable for charging and can also be used to play music from the computer. I don't think it can play directly from your Ipod, but could play from the computer that you use to link you Ipod with.

just to clarify... ipod nano is flash-based, just like ipod touchthe classic is the only one that is hard drive

There is no usb port on this model. You hook it up with stereo rca connectors, which plug into the headphone jack on the ipod.

Haven't used the usb yet but check the compatible formats on the receiver versus the format of the files on your ipod. I am aware that it is supposed to support usb drive activity i.e reading files but I would consult the manual or contact technical support for further information.

You plug it into your PC via a USB port, then it becomes a removeable drive on your PC. For windows you select computer, then the new drive. Any files you want to save you just drag onto the new drive. Also when you first plug it in you may be asked what you want to do with this drive, select open and view files, then just copy (drag and drop) onto the flash drive God Luck

Using the "Aux In" RCA jacks in the back of the unit, you can hook up a cd player/changer OR an iPad (using a special cable)...there is a USB port in the back of the unit as well; however the manual states "play music from USB flash drive...". I have not tried to plug in my iPod and play through the unit, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hope that helps.
