Transfer music to the HDD, say from a phone ? Can't see anything in the manual.

Don’t think there is an HDD option for storing music.

Ah. There is a HDD, you can check storage space, so I assumed you could store music. I guess it’s for the Nav and Apps then?

Yes think so. The display shows the storage used by each app and its data.

I've had a look at the online manual and I can't see anyway of storing music on the HDD. If this is the case it is rather disappointing (though I'm sure the salesman did say music could be stored on the HDD).

Salesman definitely told me you can store music but I’ve learnt to accept such facts as possibilities at best 😄

Pretty sure music only available through usb or connected device (stick, iPod, phone etc). Streaming possible through likes of Spotify.

You can get very small thumb USB memory “sticks” that could live in the bottom of the two usb slots and you wouldn’t even notice it.

Unless you an enormous collection something like a 32 or 64GB one should suffice. There does though seem to be max 15000 songs threshold which I think is due to a sensus file indexing limitation which is so disappointingly low.

Yes, that's what I was thinking I would use.
