Yes any device connected can be controlled on the main display. Not sure on the cost of the internal drive but i know some people have had issues with its usability - no playlist support, difficult to get music back off the drive. Be worth searching a few online sites before splashing out, see if its the solution you need or not. Im just using a 64gb usb stick in place of my ipod and spotify on my iphone via the mini connected app

I agree with txfan, the hard drive is brilliant and works really well.

I use a 16GB usb stick. Just copy music from my iTunes media on my PC.
Works great now I know how to navigate the iDrive system.
Album artwork only works if I had manually copied and pasted an album image in iTunes. If I use the image automatically found by iTunes it does not show up, very strange.

The hard drive requires the Connected XL screen, the cost will depend on country and packages..
A lot of people just load up a USB flash drive and navigate audio from that.

This is due to the fact that iTunes stores its album art separately to the MP3 file, rather than embedding it as part of the MP3's ID3 metadata.
If you have a mac, there are some applescripts online that can automatically embed the image. Alternatively, if you have a Google Music account, you can use the Google Music manager application to upload all your MP3s to the google cloud, then download them again and they will all (or most) have album art attached.

I find CDs in cars to be clumsy and prone to damage. I'm happy with a USB memory stick and even a lowly 4GB one will hold many tracks in MP3 format, even if the files are encoded at 320 kbps. Just means I need to look ahead if planning a long trip plus I usually have a 'juke box' selection on my phone which is always to hand.
Need to find out if I can play FLACs or WAVs through the USB input - doubt it, but that would be useful for me as that's how I store my music at home; it would save having to trancode to MP3 for in-car listening.

You can play WAVs, FLACs didn't work for me.

I only use wavs, they work fine but as profiteroles says album art can be erratic!
Ha--in a few years people will say to you, an aging person "what's Facebook, Twitter, USB, flash drive, Bluetooth, iPad…".What's a cd?
You may not know the benefits of a CD but others do, wiseacre!
