What audio formats does it play through USB?

Adding to this discussion a little late, but I'm wondering which formats the BDP-83 plays through USB. My 980H only plays mp3, but I'm hoping the 83 will play a lossless or uncompressed format.

How is the file browsing with the 83? It is very wonky with the 980H, after years of using it via USB I still haven't been able to figure out why it puts things in the order it does (not alphabetical, not in order written to the drive).

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Aaron.

As far as I can tell, both my 980 and 83 display MP3 files in the same order. You have to use a utility to re-order the files on the USB drive. I have so many HT system things I can stick a USB drive into, but I don't use any of them to play MP3s because access is too inconvenient so I can't tell you much (I use the PS3 to play them). I don't think the 83 plays any lossless ripped file formats. I don't think it even handles MKV stuff as well as the 980, requires more effort depending what you want to play.
Really, the 83 is a standard/commercial-type *disc* player, and a pretty good one. I wouldn't recommend it especially for anything else.
