I'd think it very unlikely you'll find anything that supports anything other

than FAT32 personally although I'd love to be proved wrong!
You're not going to have any music files bigger than 4GB, you don't really

need the extra speed or features offered by more modern filesystems and

there are plenty of scripts and apps out there than will simplify the

process of making your filenames FAT32 friendly so I'd go for whatever can

play the most file formats (I'd be after wavpack support personally although

again I think you'd be lucky unless its basically an embedded Linux device

you can ssh into) and offers the best sound quality for the money.

I've found some products (by Cambridge Audio) that support all the form=

Any hint is appreciated.

Thanks!
