Most questions have been asked so either search the forum directly or use a search engine if you choose with Roon included in the query. :slight_smile:

Hi @Larry_Gelman,

As noted in our KB: https://kb.roonlabs.com/Nucleus_Media_Storage_And_Audio_Devices

Nucleus supports USB drives pre-formatted as EXT2/3/4, VFAT/FAT32/FAT16/exFAT, NTFS, or HFS/HFS+. Note that HFS/HFS+ (also known as “Mac OS Journaled”) is read-only, which means that Nucleus will not be able to make changes or store new music on the USB drive.

If you have any questions about anything else please feel free to reach out!
