Hello,

According to the BS8 manual the USB port is for connection to a computer (streaming music from your computer), but can you use the USB to hook up a portable hard drive and play content from it?

 

Regards

MH

No.. you can't.. you have to see the BS8 as USB Speakers.

Does that mean it would work with Apple airtunes?

Apple AirTunes has nothing to do with USB. AirTunes is a wireless receiver in an audio system. The BS8 doesn't have the receiver. But you can connect an Airport Express to the aux input of the BS8
