The 980H and 983H share this, but with some limitations: USB device must be FAT or FAT32, only the first 700 files are recognized, and several formats can not be used (WAV, FLAC, and any other lossless format I know of being the notable omissions). This ability is a handy side-effect of the Mediatek chip's standard abilities (available on the 971H and 981HD as well for media burned to CD or DVD) combined with the addition of a USB interface.
