Hi Scott,

Unfortunately, the USB is only 1.1, so if you have that capability you don't need to get 2.0. It's not really a big deal, though. What you do is use a 2 gig partition to store your wave files (songs) on and then read that partition from the computer and load the wave file directly into whatever editing/mastering software you choose to use. My personal preference is to use Sound Forge 6 (or 7) for editing and then use EZ CD Creator (last version of 5) to burn a disk at once CD. SF 7 is REALLY fast in it's rendering and comes with enough directX plugins that you can do most anything necessary using it alone. The WaveHammer is a particularly good compressor for mastering use.
