Yes. I just add my mp3 files to my usb plug it in the player and press play. The battery lasts around 4-5 hours when fully charged and not plugged in.

That isn't something I've tried, however the manual says when playing CD/MP3/WMA discs, you can select Normal Play, Repeat Play, Shuffle Play or Program Play. For the USB drive, you can select Single Repeat, All Repeat, Selected Folder Play, Selected Folder Repeat Play, Shuffle Play, Program Play and Program Repeat Play. Does this help you?

Haven't really used it for music, but I do play movies off of my usb flash drive. I assume you can play music the same way. In fact will try tomorrow and update response.

You can choose just one sound to play continuously- or set an automatic turn off. I LOVE the thing- it's comes with us out of town as well :)

It plays on mine with no problem! What I suggest you to do is to try playing the same stick on some other equipment such as Car USB port or just a regular computer.If it does play then its a faulty player you got but if it does not play anywhere else then the problem is with the stick it self.Does the SD card with the same MP3'S playing on this unit?

The usb is extremely limited playing only what is in the root directory and giving no more information than track and time. I set up a play list on my computer of all the songs I want played, e.g. for Christmas, copy to the thumb drive, stick it into this player and go to usb. It is better to use the ipod port to get all the info, etc.

Hi Richard, This cd player plays one cd at a time. For multiple play it does have a usb input for which you can load a memory stick with as much as you can store on it & play.

No. I've found the USB on this is totally useless. Can't even play from a flash drive.

To Camilla: I also noticed when I push the play/pause button it shows "no usb". So I push the play/pause button again and the same thing happens. Then I pushed the Mode button that didn't seem to help either. I also noticed it does not respond immediately when you press any button. When I open and close the CD holder it goes back to square one. So now I just keep pushing the play/pause button and sometimes it responds. I don't like this at all. When you read the instructions they are very confusing. I am thinking about returning mine. Hope this helps you decide if you want to keep it.

If I have 10 mp3 songs on the USB and it has played them all - does it stop or can it be set to repeat them over and over?

As someone else mentioned, I don't think it will play files from a thumb drive if you have the charger plugged in. Try unplugging the charger, and make sure you don't have an SD card plugged in at the same time. Also, for right or wrong, the unit appears to remember where you left off over multiple thumb drives. So if you re-connect a thumb drive, it probably won't automatically start at the beginning. After figuring out those two quirks, mine seems to play fine with older converted MP3 files across multiple directories.

Yes! It will play continuously unless you select otherwise (it has a timer button).

I've been using the USB port to play music from my flash drive for several months--for hours at a time. Great device!

You can connect it to any USB port and will charge while playing. You can also play through external amplified speakers. I hope it helps.

Sure can! I have done it many times - charging while playing. If I want to do a straight charge with no playing going on, I will remove the flash drive and then plug in the charging cable - the light comes on both the blinking light and the screen light. I turn off the blinking light and when the screen light starts blinking the mini speaker is fully charged. I have experienced no problems with my mini speaker - hope this helps you.

It does resume from previous place when playing from an SD card. Not from a USB atleast that was my experience.
