"MuVo TX FM is equipped with USB 2.0 that enables faster transfer of music
or data files to and from your computer. MuVo TX FM comes with a built-in
USB connector. Simply attach MuVo TX FM to any PC or notebook and
drag-and-drop your files. No cables or installation software needed(3)."

That seems promising.  Thanks to everyone who replied.

OK, now to go a little off topic.  So if you just mount it as a USB mass
storage file system and you drag and drop (or cp) files to it, how do you
specify the order in which they play?

Thanks.
