Your device can read the following formats stored on USB support:

MP3 (VBR or CBR) up to 320kbits/s
WMA (same characteristics)

Your disks must be FAT-formatted to be compatible with the MPU130BT. The Mpu130 is unable to read contents via supports with different formats (NTFS, …).
Please note that some FAT devices might present compatibility issues due to specific commands or functions they might offer.
That is why we strongly recommend to test the compatibility of a device with the MPU130BTMKII before acquiring it.

We strongly recommend to use these devices with their external power supply unit in order to prevent any kind of problems or damages.

The USB port of the MPU130BTMKII is a USB Mass Storage port. It cannot be used to read audio fluxes such as the USB Audio codec under any circumstances. The MPU130BT is therefore not compatible with the devices uses such fluxes such as computers, portable players, USB microphones, etc.
