I can't play MP3's off a USB connected drive.  My N810 can play MP3's off my 
local memory cards and I can copy files to/from USB attached drives with no 
problems.  But I can't play MP3's off the USB attached drives: the sound is 
completely chopped up and incomprehensible.

I assumed that there was some common bus involved in passing data to/from the 
DSP and in accessing the USB so you effectively couldn't do both at the same 
time without exceeding the bandwidth of the bus.  Anyone know if that is 
true?
