Dunno about the Phillips specifically, but the research I did before I bought the Pioneer led me to believe that these players don't cope very well with large numbers of MP3s on an external HDD plugged into a USB port.
After I bought it, I tried my Pioneer with accessing MP3s on an external HDD over a USB cable, and IIRC it would take a minute or two before you were able to successfully browse the folder structure, and even then, I think there was some stupid 99 album limit or something. Be interested to know if this is different on the Phillips. What sort of UI does it give you for browsing music on an external HDD? Cheers, C. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeremy Coulter Yeah it can....and also, it has a USB and FireWire port on in it too. The USB was a nice "didn't notice it" feature. To get USB on the Pioneer, you have to go to the top model which is jut crazy in my mind. Although, it doesn't play the DivX off USD, only MP3's and Photos. I just put an old HD into an unused external HD case and then load all my MP3's and photos on to it, and then plugged it in. P.S the model I got was DVDR3455H -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert martin I must say I would be tempted to get it for $450 (nice deal). I also quite liked the styling of the Phillips. I have heard that the Pioneer and Panasonic are very good. Although i think the Panasonic looks a bit retro ! I will do a bit more research I think. But the phillips actually sounds fine to me. I take it from you comments that it can play Divx / AVIs, just not when recording to the HDD ?
