So I just tried my USB flash drive, and the mp3s on the root of the drive are recognized.

Yes! Now I am can have 32GB of mp3s at my will!

I have my flash drives working great...they seem to be playing based on the names of the songs on alphabetical order

Anyone know how to change that or better yet how to make playlists?

Yikes, a 5th gen touch doesn't work? :( That's really disappointing to hear...

If you have everything organized in a file structure i.e. artists, albums, songs, uConnect will recognize it like that and you can view by such.

Alright cool! I'll give that a try and let everyone know.

Looks like a USB flash drive is the way to go if you MP3 player or Smartphone doesn't work!

Yeah, I'm hoping my old 80gig iPod keeps chugging. I have around 60 something gigs of music and it's really convenient to have iTunes handle all the syncing.

Because you are plugged into the AUX jack, can you control your music through the head unit, or do you need to do everything from the phone?
