How do I copy music files from my Windows PC to the USB drive connected to my Node Icon? Currently, I can play files from my Node Icon to my PC, but I can't copy music from my PC to my Node Icon.

  As mentioned by Seppi above, you can't. In BluOS the USB is mounted "read only" which means you can read your music files but not write to the device. I guess they did that to avoid customers writing to/ damaging their files by accident. If you want to access the USB, you need to uncouple it from the Icon and connect it to your PC. Copy, Paste, edit ... when connected to the PC. When finished, plug the USB back in the Icon.

  It’s been a while since I tried this (I use a NAS) but it was a no go being read only.

  Thanks for your contribution. As I said, I can read music files from the node to the PC, but I can't do anything (copy, delete files) from my PC to the node (Windows tells me I don't have the necessary permissions).

  Thanks for your reply. It's really frustrating, I really don't understand this restriction. I used to have an Auralic brand device with the Lightning DS app and I could read and write from my PC to the streamer without any problems.

  Thanks again for the answer, it will save me from continuing to search
