Are you sure the media player can use its USB mini socket to attach and access a USB HDD ?
Perhaps post the model and someone will know its capabilities.

...it's got a standard usb out...now going to a WD HDD that has a mini usb input.
I want to add a second HDD so what's the best way to link one standard usb out to two usb mini's in ?

You can try a USB hub.
Standard USB A male to 4x standard USB A female.
Then connect the two HDDs to the hub with their supplied standard USB A male (to mini USB B male) cables.
Whether the media player can then identify and use two HDDs simultaneously connected....
