Oppo BD-95 file capability

I am considering upgrading to the Oppo BD -95. I read that it will play files directly via its USB or eSata inputs. This brings up two questions. First, how large of a drive is it limited to, i.e. will it only play files on a small memory stick or can I attach, say, a 500 GB portable hard drive. Next, is there any limitation to the type of file it will play this way, i.e. can it play 24/96 and 24/192 files.

Thanks

I tried a HP 1 TB Drive with about 1800 CD's and the Oppo would only play a few hundred of the songs.

My previous posting was wrong. Most of my CD's on the 1TB HP Hard Drive were recorded in the Apple Lossless format. These songs will show on the video screen but the Oppo will not play them.
Any suggestions?

Ozzy,

On Oppo's web site is stated "No, there is no support for Apple lossless." http://wiki.oppodigital.com/index.php?title=BDP-93_Media_Files_FAQ
The link is for BDP-93 because Oppo itself states that both players share the same streaming capabilities and indicates that the BDP-93 wiki should be used for 95 as well.
Not too many options besides changing the format to something Oppo supports.
