USB Hub with 6FL?

jdogg2000 · 12-11-2008, 08:29 AM

I saw a thread on this a month ago, but still haven't seen the answer yet. Anyone tried connecting a hub to the USB jack in order to plug in multiple flash drives? Will it pick up all the songs you have on those drives?

I don't really know, but I seriously doubt it. The iDrive would have to be able to address each device on the hub separately, which I doubt it's capable of doing.

If I had a 4-port USB hub laying around, I'd plug it up to be sure, but I don't have one.

I got a 4-port hub and tried it. Unfortunately it doesn't work. The iDrive picks up the first flash drive you connect but it just ignores any additional ones you plug into the hub. Oh well...
