Synced songs don't play

Besides my PC, I do not own any devices with the capability to control the playback of the Clip Sport.

      I am amazed to learn this is possible with a car audio system. 

      I am wondering what would happen if you substitute a simple 16 gb flash drive (aka thumb drive) in place of the Clip Sport???

Also, I think 500 folders seems like a big challenge for the Clip Sport music database processor. And maybe even an excessive challenge for the car audio processor.
