As one of the reviewers mentioned, does this stereo only play WAV music files via the usb port? Can it play mp3 files via the usb port?

Not sure what this is, but I plugged in my galaxy s4 to it via USB and it wouldn't play any music. I play music via bluetooth

When I plugged in my Sansa to the USB port of the radio, it scanned the Sansa for mp3's, but would only read the first 999 songs. If you have a library larger than that and want to play ALL your songs, suggest using the 1/4" aux audio connector (although you will lose sound quality) or go bluetooth with some kind of adapter.

yes it can. I even have a sansa mp3 player I can put in the aux port and have it play songs. This is a great stereo for the price. The hands free calling is crystal clear.

Sure can. I use the port to connect my Sansa Fuze. Reads 320Kbps mp3's no problem. One caveat: the unit has a limit of 999 mp3's.

According to the manual, this does NOT play any Mp3-based CDs. It only plays AUDIO CDs, either burned or original discs.

No USB port--strictly a CD player and radio. I do not know how one could play mp3's with this. I also had to use amplifying headphones with the used player I bought since the volume is quite low with regular headphones. Batteries do seem to last quite a while, however. Regards, Doug B.

little late answering your question...i would suggest you down load the radio manual to become familiar with its features and operation. for one it only plays stereo thur the headphones. its a cool unique product...recording mp3 files of radio programs on sdhc cards

Not directly from say a thumb drive, if that's your question. It can, of course play MP3 files it receives from an attached computer (USB) or other player (CD Toslink) which uncompresses the files. CAUTION: I could NOT ever get the USB interface to work on Vista 64, so I returned the unit. Later bought their UDH01 DAC + HPA but the USB drivers crash my system. Now paperweight.

Dear Gene, I don't have an MP3 CD that I can try and play to answer your question. The Sony box says it has CD-R/RW playback capability, but there is no mention of MP3 anywhere, so I am pretty sure it does not.Katia

Yes, this unit has a USB port on the side; description in the manual is as follows: "DVD playback condition for disc playback/USB/SD switch button". It can play Mp3 and MP4 files. It supports USB and SD/MMC. In the manual is the following: "Support MP4, MP3, WMA, MPG, AVI, VOB, DIVX, JPEG formats."

I was able to use the auxiliary port to play my android phone. Regarding the USB port, I picked up a cheap mp3 player download my music and plugged it in without a problem. Hope this helps a little. Stan

No, It only records 80 min of wav file music. But if you record as a data cd you can get several files on the disc. You can only play the music in a computer or mp3 player.

I agree. It looks like a drive on your computer, so you can drag and drop songs to it. It will play them if they are encoded in a way that it understands, i.e. basic .mp3's up to 320 Kbps (and reportedly .wav files up 30 384 Kbps, according to the manual).

no. in fact even plugged into the usb in my car stereo, it only plays about half the mp3 items on it.

Yes, I have used the rear USB port to play MP3 files and display will show file names. Very cool feature making the unit more useful.

there is no USB input, but the AUX Input will accept low level audio signals from other devices. If the device has a HEADPHONE OUT, it would likely play through the AUX input.

If you have a usb mp3 player it will not read the music files. If you copy mp3 files to a usb drive (no folders) it will play them.

Not sure what review that is, but I use a flash drive plugged into the USB port all the time and have no problems turning the volume up or down. The volume works just the same as when listening to a CD or the radio tuner.

It responds to sound, so if you have a stereo playing whatever you want it will react to the noise coming out of the speakers. The unit itself doesnt actually play music.

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.
