i have seagate external HD i.e free agent desk with 1tb space…i want to know that can i connect this to players with usb port…like DVD players with usb port and car mp3 players with usb port?

Won’t work. Those devices don’t have the underlying operating system to be able to read an external hard disk. Their embedded firmware is capable of reading things like thumbdrives, but doesn’t have the driver firmware or the other software necessary to read an external disk.
