Oct 20, 2017 I've copied my entire iTunes library to a 128GB USB stick which I use in the car. While I remain disappointed/dismayed there's no iPod integration with this techno car, I've found the USB drive works pretty well, only missing playlists and the ability to shuffle songs.
“My iTunes is too large and I plan moving iTunes library to an external drive to free up space on computer. Any suggestions or warnings for this?”

- If you’re planning to put iTunes data to a new computer, we can tell you it’s definitely not that necessary. Just log in your iTunes Store to download them again on your new computer.
