Guys, a memory drive does NOT stream audio or video. It is simply read as if it is a disc. And I am a bit confused about people asking for "Safe to remove" hints from the HU. Such a feature is required only if a write happening to the drive. IMHO, a HU will require far more intelligence than any of them currently have to even change the "last access" time. Remember that pendrives have fat32 partitions. (Does fat32 support "last accessed" info? I use ext3)

TO me, this is a simple problem with the quality of the pendrive, and/or as already stated, looks like a problem with the HU.

I had purchased a Sony stereo set 7 - 8 years back, and have vowed never to purchase a sony product ever again. (errrr.. did buy a DVD R/W for my PC later on....)
