One handy option that some other streamers allow but Bluesound do not, is the ability to transfer filed from a PC or phone to a usb device plugged into the streamer. Is this possible.

  You can attach a USB memory stick / hard drive (power drawn within limits) with your own music on and once indexed you can playback your music.

  There are two modes available

  Seppi, I think you misunderstood the request. I think the question is whether we can have an option to transfer files from a PC to a USB drive while it's attached to the Bluesound device. So just add new files to the USB drive via network rather than have to remove it, plug into a PC, copy files, and then re-attach to the Bluesound device. I think this would be great and I was actually thinking about suggesting the same feature. There are possibly two options here. Either have a feature in the BluOS Controller to be able to manage files on the attached USB drive or, if the drive is in server mode, allow write operations on the drive so new files can be added from a PC connected to the same network. Currently the USB drive shows on the network but it's not possible to write to it.
