I also plugged in a USB hard drive on my 4000. I had the same thought as you, movies and music on the same hdd.
The 4000 supports USB memory up to 250gb, up to 15,000 files and up to 500 folders. The 500 folders is where the problem occurs.
I have my music collection pretty well organized on my desktop PC. One folder per artist and all albums from that artist in that folder. When I first got the hard drive, I just copied my entire music collection to it (about 82gb at the time). I was real disappointed when I plugged it in to the Pioneer and it only found the first 500 folders and ignored the rest.
Now I am thinking about trying to find a used 160gb IPOD. There seems to be no such folder limit on the IPOD interface and I know the Pioneer will play videos from the IPOD. Plus the Pioneer supports IPOD's album shuffle, which is another plus. There doesn't seem to be a way to shuffle by album with the USB interface.
