Hi,<br>
<br>
Many thanks for this! I was looking for an inexpensive solution, and a
Nokia tablet is too expensive for me. I was hoping for a cheap mp3
player with a USB connection, but thanks for the advice anyway.<br>

FLAC files off my external 120GB drive using the "Canola" media player.<br>
You need an external source to power the disk though, because the n810<br>
doesn't provide enough power to run a hard disk.<br>
