Ok, Please excuse my ignorance, But as far as the "SD-Card" goes, You can Download as much music as your card can hold and simply plug it in and Play ? Now, the USB connect, does that work for DownloadedMusic on a USB Flash Drive ?? I'm not Geek Smart so I need some esplainations on that subject...

Kind of a pain because of the quality that the sd card takes, you have to down grade quality if your using iTunes . Wasn't crazy about mine and didn't last long

Yes on both you can load an sd card or a jump drive but I just ran a 3.5 Jack to my ipoh and it worked great

The song loading time is actually quite good, even when switching to different artists. The only slow part, is when you initially select USB as the input. It takes close to 10 seconds to actually load my 8gb flash drive. But after that it's fairly fast. I have not yet played any videos from the USB input, but I wouldn't expect it to be any different from songs.

Through much trial and error I figured out the same points that you mentioned. The trickiest thing was getting the card in exactly the right position. Also it appears that the music files have to be in a folder called "My Music" that one has to create on the card. If the folder is called "Music" then the phone never finds the songs.

I plug my external USB drive into the computer. Not sure if it would work like an MP3 player. I think there is a driver on the MP3 player that allows the music to play.

It has a music player and if you get one that doesnt, there are plenty of apps that will allow you to. Since it comes with a card reader (mini card and they are not overly expensive but they arent cheap either, bout a buck/G, 32G is about $30) I would assume you can download music to the card and play from it. I just played the music on the installed HD and it does play and the volume isnt too bad, at least you can hear the song pretty well, unlike some I have had in the past.

Yes you can. A USB flash drive functions like a hard drive or extra memory. Once you plug it into your USB port, you can download music , video or photos. Works as an extra storage device up to 256 GB.

I might be a little slow - What about expandable memory - can I load music movie and content onto the sd card? or are you all saying it can only read and save content pulled over from another device like my laptop.

Unless there has been an update, it will only recognize up to 32gb. If you are not using extremely large files there is no need for it. The player will only "see" up to 8000 files. It Has a cap of 4000 mp3 or audio files and 4000 other files. I have heard of people "hacking" the device to remove the file limits, but I'm not that good with computers and such and didn't want to risk damaging mine. I have a little over 2000 mp3s on mine and it has taken up about 16gb. I have heard of some people having luck with larger sd cards but some do not, it's hit and miss depending on what software version it has I guess. I have a 32gb for mine but have never used it.

how do you move files to the card? I have audiobooks on my player and I can not figure out how to move them to the SD card. Can anyone help?

Hi Ron, You have to download music midi files to get them onto your SD card. I can't tell you exactly how to do it, as my husband is the one who did it for us. But you can find midi files online. Hope that helps. :)

Hello Eric. This is quite an old device, amazing I got a follow up. This is only a player as far as I know. I do not recall any software that came with it - though it has been 5 years or so.We use it to play on-hold music via a 256mb (yes 1/4 gb) memory stick. Running constant for many years, never a problem. Been a great device.That being said, there is no reason you cannot create a set of mp3 files yourself on a normal computer and then use this device to play them. So many programs to use for such a purpose.

How ever you can drop and drag your music. I buy tunes from amazon then export them to windows where I can sync the Sandisk and drag the music I want to it.

I use a 16gb flash drive but I always use random play--sometimes it freezes when loading--but if I switch to cd then back to usb-it seems to always work fine. I've had no problems with sony or Philips mp3 devices--just seems to lock up when first reading flash drives--it is a little slow at reading files before it begins playing--I'd say about a minute delay-not a problem. Display information depends on what is available on flash drive--ir title artist album are provided it will display them--though you have to turn on the display by using the remote 'display" button or it just gives numeric info

Mine doesn't communicate with the card at all. The card acts as music storage to be taken out and plugged into the comp so's the music can be transferred from the card to the player. This player is a worthless piece of junk from the perspective of that card slot being of any value.

I haven't tried to play music through usb yet, but it does come with a headphone style jack for music input, and I can confirm that the usb port will charge devices. I should get some .wma and .mp3 files and try then on my phones external storage setting...

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

Can't answer that, because I returned mine the next day. It would play one MP3 CD and then the next CD it would do an endless search without starting. I didn't even bother to try the SD card function. It is a nice looking unit and sounds good, but the quality of the key features on this player are NOT worth taking a chance on!! I paid fiftybucks for an MP3 player by memo rex...it works great!! No SD card feature though. :(
