Default Using two usb sticks at the same time?

The media center in the truck has 2 USB ports. If all my music doesn't fit on one USB stick, can I plug in two USB sticks with music on them and switch between them? Just keep them both plugged in?

Thanks.

I believe the answer is yes. You must have a lot of music...
you might consider a larger USB stick. I bought a 16gb usb for $6. Loaded over 1,000 songs and it is not near full.

yes you can.

each stick will be listed individually and be separately indexed.

dont ask whether you can but rather whether you should... its a horrible idea imho and will make voice commanding music more difficult if it is represented as two usb devices and seperately indexed. They make large usb thumb drives just go buy a 32 gb one or something.

You got to get with the times!

(There are cheaper, but I liked the low-profile of this one.)

Sandisk just announced the 128GB version of the above drive, too.

I have the 16gb version of this low profile usb and have over 1600 songs on it and it's not full yet. Takes a lot of windshield time to run thru that many songs.

I have a 128gb SanDisk. I've been collecting CDs since the late 1980's. I have a ton! I'm in the process of putting them all on a 128gb drive and I'm afraid that I might run out of room on just one. (It's not full yet though). That's why I was asking if it was feasible to have two plugged in at the same time.

Why will it make voice commands more difficult? Difficult in what way?

Don't worry. If it's not full yet, by the time it is, they'll have 256GB sticks.
