When the phone is plugged into the usb part, will it play your music or does it have to be docked on top in order form my music to play?

Hi Brandi- I have played music through both my iPad and iPhone through the USB function. The device automatically recognizes that there is music playing and starts playing after just a few second delay. I can only speak for my iPhone 5 and iPad but my guess is this should be Universal. Good luck.

Hi there, Good news! I just went in and checked. It will play your music via doc or USB. We love ours! They are awesome. Compact, good sound, good design. I can charge my iPad and iPhone: genius.

I bought it for my granddaughter per her request so I can't really answer. Its a Christmas gift.

My IPhone 5 can be docked, but you have to take all the covers and protectors off in order for it to fit. I purchased an extension plug but it didn't work well. If you want to leave your covers on the phone you can plug it in with a charging cord from the back of the radio and set it on top. Everything will still sync up that way too. As for the radio, I like it because of the two alarm setting and also being able to listen to my own music from the phone. It's a very nice unit.

No it wouldn't mount on, but if you have an auxiliary cord than yes, only it wouldn't charge on the dock. But you can still play your music.

Yes, it does charge your phone while on the dock, you also can play music while it's charging.

The USB port is meant for USB flash drives(aka USB stick or thumb drive), not external hard drives or other devices it would seem. But if you have a 3.5mm(1/8") axillary cable(if not, they're usually only a few bucks), then you could plug it in through the headphone out on your phone, and into the green plug on the back. Of course doing it this way means using the phone to control the music, just like you would if wearing headphones.

Depends on the model guess. The first one I bought, when it died, I could plug it into the wall charger via USB and still have it in my phone with the aux an it would just play. One of my friends loved mine and bought one a few months after I did to daisy chain, but hers will not charge while playing NOR play through the outlet, she has to charge first before she can play anything. I don't know if it's all new models or just roulette =(

Kerwin, the answer to your question is yes. I started playing my usb and then unplugged the unit. When I plugged it back in, it started playing again on it's own with out me doing anything. PS Be sure to move the selector knob to usb. Just tried it and if you don't move the selector knob the usb just flashes and doesn't play. So move the knob to usb. This happens to be a great little unit. :)

I have a Pioneer stereo in my truck that can play music from my iPhone using the usb cable. In order for me to do that with this case attached, I have to press the power button on the case (so that the phone is being charged by the case). When I do this, I am able to play music from my iPhone through the stereo's usb cable.

I usually start the music once its docked. and it works fine. Have you already sent the box back? Reason I ask is because the packaging is deceiving... On the box is just has Im600, what you need to look for is on the bottom of the box where the serial number is printed just below it has im600USB printed in small text. When I go home tonight I'll send you the UPC code it has printed.

No. In fact it should play while your even charging it. Looks like you my have a lemon. I would exchange. It's worth the time. It's an awesome little speaker for the money. Also it will last a very long time on a charge.

Yes, you can. It fits best if turned on its side anyway because the ports are at the top and bottom of the phone. I especially like the idea that your phone is charging while playing, so you don't have to worry about not hearing your music until you turn it off. Thumbs up!

Yes, you can play it while plugged in. It actually plays quite a bit louder. It should be charging depending on the volume .

Yes, this will play while charging and is a very good quality mp3 player. I've owned two so far and I have this very one which is better than the very first one they came out with.

I was able to control the music with my phone when I hooked it up to the head phone plug. I havent tried it with the usb. I used a usb drive for music and it works great. If you used one of those shorty ones it sits nicely like It's part of the stereo.

Your I Pod or I pad plays the music from I tunes. your music will play from your devices while it's docked and charging though.

Yes the music plays while being charge. I can not answer the second question. I have over 500 songs on a 4gb sdcard and I have yet to reach the end. My only dissapointment with this device, once you turn it off the music go back to the first song. other than that It's a good device for the price and the speakers are pretty loud!

I play music with it, however, I have had trouble getting my phone to charge while playing music. it will keep itself charged, but doesn't want to charge my phone too often.
