The problem is not to access the drive. It works nicely on CE without any driver. But the Microdrive is a hard disk in Compact Flash form factor with about 1 GB of storage and it uses much more power than normal internal SDRAM or Flash Storage. So if you access it constantly your batteries will last less than 2 hours. But if you cache it in internal RAM the hard disk goes to sleep for the length of a song say 5 minutes. The easiest thing is just to copy the song file to internal storage and the best thing to use an internal cache in vorbis.
