I also don't like using the iPhone for choosing the music and often the tag data isn't displayed correctly, yet they are using a memory stick (identical files).
Gosh, my experience (yes, I have extended BT) is quite different. From IP5 via BT the sound quality is at least on par with the USB connection. More importantly it's much more convenient to just hop in and out, and the connection is there. That said, I don't have much spare room on my IP, so now use a 64Gb USB stick which has all my music in about 80 playlists, and stream Pandora or TuneIn radio from my IP5. Provided you set preferences to the highest sampling rate, the sound is brilliant
