I'm sorry, I can't answer this question. I apparently have the same radio as Karen. I hadn't looked at the USB port until now and it is a weird size which I have never seen before. Like Karen, I don't have a USB flash drive that fits this port. I have tried to research this problem online, but can't find an answer. I thought there might be something in the owner's manual, but, for some reason I can't find mine. I'll keep looking and if I find the answer, I will pass it along. Sorry! - Jim Scott

All USB-A thumb drives have worked. Make sure they are formatted as FAT (mine are FAT32). Put one MP3 file on the drive, plug the drive into the box, switch the box input to USB and it should start playing automatically after it reads the contents of the drive. If you have a lot of songs/directories on the thumb drive, it can take a long time to read it.

I had a similar experience - I believe it is because it does not read the Apple Audio file extension of .AAC , so in other words , you can't play anything loaded on a USB stick from iTunes. I believe the Windows music MP3 of .WAV will work-give it a try and let me know

Karen, My daughter & I just put ours to the test for USB recording for the first time and it worked very well. A business friend gave me a standard USB 2-Gigabyte storage thumb drive for Christmas from his company. I would guess that you buy these almost anywhere nowadays. I had an old Yolanda Adams CD nearby and recorded the first song on it, "The Only Way", and it sounded awesome on the playback. Make sure that you are following the right procedure for playing and recording on the USB drive. Kind regards - mr. brown

Any USB works, You must load a playlist of the music you want to hear onto the thumb drive and it will play them in sequence or random I believe, It can't record to the drive just play.

I use Cruzer Glide 16GB USB thumb drives in mine. I use a Windows 7 PC to put Mp3 files on the drive.

Neither could I ! The USB port would not work with my laptop or MP3 player or other audio sources either. This unit has many other bugs as well. I returned mine after toying around with it for 30 days.. Sorry I couldn't really help with your problem, other than my strong recommendation to return it ASAP.....

The one I got from Amazon is a piece of junk. Not in good shape. Does not have USB/mp3 potential. I would not buy this - especially from this provider.

Can you confirm if you got a solution for your problem? I have the same situation, lost the usb receiver and I'm trying to look for a replacement as well. let me know how you figured it out.

I loaded MP3s onto a USB, but the device refuses to recognize the files or play them.

I believe the USB port is universal. It works with my iPhone and with my Sandisk MP3 player.

I drive a FJ and I have a stereo that I have two USB outlets. The stereo has a USB App that I use which shows the music on the USB Stick as well all the Recorded Radio Programs I have and I play them. I have over a dozen USB Sticks which I used but now I am switching over to Kingston Hyperx Predators because of the vast storage space and uses of their small compact sticks. Some stereo's only have USB slots for Map and system updates so you have to check if your USB is used for that, mine has a SD card slot for updates. My friends use their USB access for music, just like I do but not all stereo's do this.

It is not USB, but has two standard (1/8" i presume) headphone jacks. Note however, that it should work with one of those cheap USB sound cards (1.25 on on Ebay, or 1.75 Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000N35A0Y/ref=sr_1_2_olp?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1359331633&sr;=1-2&keywords;=USB+sound+card&condition;=new). My internal analog card does not work under W/8, but the cheap USB sound card did!

I have not personally tried...But Accordingly to the manual all things in these formats will work On a USB flash drive. (DivX HD, JPEG, JPG, MPO, AC3 (Dolby Digital), EAC3, HAAC, AAC, MPEG, MP3, PCM, DTS)

Let me ask, do you have it on the charger? Because if you do, it will not play the flash drive. Just as a suggestion, return it while you can because it is very hard to navigate your music files and then mine simply got stuck on one song and wouldn't play anything else. Needless to say, I trashed it about a month after I got it.

Kermit, it should work as it is USB plug-n-play. If you looking for average sound then this is good, but if you are looking for better sound output then would suggest to look for something else.

The Soundfly Aux can only support SD cards/USB thumb drives up to 32GB. Thank you, Satechi

I would suggest verifying that the USB drive isn't too large. I am only using a 4 gig in mine (and I know it is *not* an Autosound USB drive). Your drive may be too large. Otherwise, it sounds like an issue with the radio or USB cable.

I haven't used the Jawbone Jambox, but I'm perfectly pleased with my Jawbone UP24. As for this Durherm Powerful USB powered blah blah blah....it's awfully cheap. At $35, it looks, feels, and sounds like it should be $5 at a flea market.

I've used up to 128GB stick with no issues. USB 2.0 is recommended but it works with my USB 3.0. I'd recommend USB 3.0 due to faster copying times to your thumb drive during Rekordbox preperation.

I bought the 16 gb scandisk that said "xbox" on it, it worked fine. to save money I bought a regular scandisk , also 16gb, and it seems to work fine also. I think any flashdrive would work, as long as it fits in the usb port

I don't think so. I don't use it for USB but when I got your question I put one in. It just started playing. I think that on the Sangean web site there is an operating manual that you can view. It might tell you more.
