The Jukebox feature allows you to load 30+gigs of music onto the audio system's internal hard drive. I think the owner's manual is a bit complicated. Let me clarify certain features. I hope this helps.
1. The Hyundai audio does not "support" the IPod Classic (160 gig). Apple has ceased production of the IPod Classic, but it remains a great tool for storing massive music collections. If you try to play an IPod Classic it will initially "work", but within an hour or so the IPod will freeze; and then it must be removed and reset.
2. You can play music vis-a-vie a thumb drive. First, you must have the music on your mainframe computer in ITunes. Then, it is a simple matter to insert the thumb drive into a USB port on your computer - then copy and paste the songs you want onto the thumb drive. Now insert the thumb drive into the USB port on the dash. The car's computer will then "read" the thumb drive and play the music sequentially. You can play with the "menu" functions on the audio system and have the music play randomly.
3. You can also load any, many or all the music onto the audio system hard drive, which is called "the Jukebox". Again, play with the menu function and you will figure it out.
4. An important subtle feature of the Hyundai audio is that it supports ITune's proprietary AAC and MPEG. What it doesn't say is that MPEG level 4 is not supported, meaning that music in MPEG level 4 will not be "read". If you have a MAC with AAC music it will transfer effortlessly to a thumb drive as AAC. BUT, if you have a Microsoft system AAC music will be converted automatically to MPEG level 4 when copied to a thumb drive. The "fix" is first to convert on ITunes your music from AAC to MPEG - level 3, which is "supported". Go to the file window and below there will be a "create new version" which is the method to convert.
5. Finally, if you want maximum versatility with playlists, etc. perhaps the most expedient method is to create a thumb drive for each playlist.
