I think when you "import" to the HD (aka Jukebox), the system picks up the ID3 tag on each song file - thus you get "artist", "genere", etc.

From the SD card, the system simply picks up the file structure you create on the card - and it does not pick up the ID3 info (for example, you can't play music by Genere from an SD card).

Anyone have an answer or know if you buy the USB AMI cable if you can plug in an external USB hard drive?

Mine picks up the ID3 tag information on the SD card, but not until the song has been played once. It stays as long as the card isn't removed, though.

Interesting; I'll either order one or pick one up at my dealer if they have one and give it a shot.
