Thanks, we'll try it. I guess we don't need to keep a fire extinguisher handy in the car (although not a bad idea besides eating into trunk space)?

In the car you won't notice it because the drive is only being read at a slow rate. It only takes a few minutes to write several hours worth of music to the drive, but several hours to listen to it. Each "bit" of data costs a tiny amount of heat, so when you try to do them all at once it builds up faster than the drive can cool off.

I don't recall the menu in the touchscreen for the USB audio, but there are several "tabs" across the top (about a quarter of the way from the top-top). USB is far to the right and may require arrowing over to get to it. It's something like "USB" or "Media" iirc.
