    Id say thats your problem

    You should be using a standard usb stick (i also assumed you had used the wrong terminology)
    Oh, I assumed I could use a USB card-reader? The whole point of wanting a Hifi capable of this is that I can take the SD card from my DSi, and play via Hifi, do you not think this is possible?

    DCM beat me to it -are the files mp3's?
    I use sd cards in usb readers a lot and haven't had any probs ???
    Does your card+reader work in any other devices you have eg tv , dvd player , pc ,whatever ?

    EDIT: says your new device reads mp3 files.

    They're MPEG4? I use the SD/card reader via the PC with no problems

    A quick look for this £60 unit shows no evidence whatsoever that it will play MP4's !, but I can't find the pdf for it.

    Err... your new hi-fi plays mp3's ,only mp3's and not mpeg4 files, nor any other non-mp3 file, according to your link.
    Try something from !!!!!! and see if that plays.

    Your Hifi isn't a PC so while the PC can happily understand all sorts of different file formats, the Hifi is very limited in what it can understand and read. Then it may not work using the USB to SD adaptor even with files that are compatible with it so bare that in mind.
