Yep. Simple as that. I prefer a USB thumb drive though. So I copied all of my ipod tunes onto a thumb drive. The thumb drive is tiny and the performance is much better. Scrolling through songs lists, artists, albums, etc. is much faster with the USB thumb drive than the ipod. And, I dont have to remove it when I get out of the car. It stays in there all the time. But then again I have over 3000 songs on it.

I can see no rational reason for using an iPod in the car when a USB drive is smaller, faster and far less obtrusive

Sure, but my question is really about how do you translate that to a thumb drive? Do you just bulk copy all the songs and playlist files onto the drive? Or is there a directory structure that needs to be followed? I want to us the thumb drive like I use an iPod. Scroll through playlists, artists, etc.
