Not without hacking. It is a USB client: the USB port is so that you can plug it into a PC to copy files to it. (Painfully slow.) You can reflash it to enable USB host mode, but you will need to make your own USB cable and you must have a powered USB hub between the Nokia and any device. There is a usb-storage module, but I don't know if anyone has ever made it work (most of the interest is to use a portable keyboard... a rollup usb keyboard would make this a great laptop for ssh'ing into servers.... sort of annoying that you have to play cable games and carry a powered hub, too, though). A huge playlist? Depends on your concept of huge. This is NOT a fast CPU. It is pretty easy to bog it down. > > if so, it very well may be exactly what i'm looking for. definitely > has my interest. If you want SB-type sound quality, no, it won't give you that either. It does make a nice remote and I no longer have to carry a laptop with me at all times, the Nokia suffices for most emergencies at work. With headphones it's not bad for watching movies (but you will have to drop the frame rate and resolution). But it's not a Squeezebox in sound quality, nor is it able to replace slimserver in handling large libraries. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37279 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
