USB Connection? (Need help)

Hey guys Im just about to pick up a 2009 Civic LX coupe. But Im curious how the USB connection works. I know that you can plug in a USB stick but how does it work with the center console interface?

Questions?
1. What file formats does it support? Can I use my Itunes music?
2. Can I make folders on the USB stick and then scroll through them? Kinda like playlists on a Ipod?

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!

To answer your questions, yes, you copy files from iTunes into folders on your flash drive, plug it into the connector, press AUX and you're in business. To change folders you turn the Tune knob, change tracks just like you would a CD.

If you have a PC then all is well, if you've got a Mac like me you have to find a PC to view and remove the small hidden files Macs use.

See my recent post: Playing files with a USB flash drive

You know you can plug your iPod in using the USB connector as well. Then you can search by song, artist, or album all through the console controls!
