Thats all I run is a flash drive. You don't need to buy any extra cords for my 15 SGS. Not sure about other models. Works like a charm I set favorites to get to quickly, can search for songs, artists, or albums. Works like a charm. Only issue I had at first was my left toggle wouldn't allow me to skip songs but the guy at the dealership adjusted something and now it works great!
Buy it, you won't regret it, can hold more music than you got most likely.

Because a CD player has a mechanism that reads the data on the disc and converts it from a digital format into an analog format. A USB thumb drive is just like the CD-ROM disc. Just stored data on media, nothing more. Can you hear music on a CD without inserting it into a player? No. A USB drive has to be connected to a USB port in order to read the media and convert it to amplified sound waves.
the phone is decoding the signal is why

Here is what I came up with. Sansa 4GB MP3 player $49.99 at Best Buy. These allow you to add a mini SD card so I picked up a 4GB for $14.99(on sale). Then I bought the male/male 3ft. audio cable $12.99. So now I have everything I need, 8GB music (about 1300 songs) on a rechargeable MP3 player and the cable for $77.97 before tax. I guess that is an acceptable solution providing the sound quality is good going from the headphone jack to the Aux input on the head unit. Now I have to download tunes... should be ready by tomorrow to test it out.
