Copy from USB to HDD?

Does anyone know if there is a way to copy music files from a USB flash drive to the HDD? I know I can play from it or connect audio through Bluetooth, but I'm interested if I can just copy from a flash drive to the car's HDD.

I do not believe this is possible, however if you insert a CD, it will automatically burn it to the HDD. I just leave an iPod fully stocked with all my music in my center console and access it through the touch screen or voice command.

Limelight is correct, the only way to transfer music to the HDD is from a music CD. You cannot copy mp3s to the HDD...

I do remember reading about the CD copying.

I wonder if you load up a CD with MP3s instead of a regular audio CD - will it copy them?

Too bad you can't connect a laptop to the USB port & get access to just the HDD. Then you could organize/rename folders easily. Oh well, I guess it's some for the "next-gen" infotainment refresh, I guess.
