Preparing a USB storage device

a USB storage device, the following require-
ments must be met: the USB storage device
must be specified as a mass storage device, it
must be formatted with the FAT16 or FAT32
file system, and it must contain MP3 or WMA
files.
You can store a maximum of 32,000 tracks
(without ID3 tags) on a USB storage device.
You can use this device to access the directo-
ries and tracks individually. If you use tracks
that have ID3 tags, this maximum number of
files will be reduced.
