Yes you canJust copy the tracks in mp3, wav or other, select with control "media Player" then USB you will have the complete list of the files you have into your pen drive, select the song and OK to play.Cheers BPB

Computers treat thumb drives as if they were just another internal hard or floppy disk. So if your computer is capable of playing music stored on the computer's hard disk, then yes it can play music stored on a thumb drive.

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

HI, Katheryn It wont work, the USB is only for flash drives with music files

I have never done so but I think so; especially for music once you have internet access or you can play it from a USB flash drive or sd card

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.

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

You need to have your music on a thumb drive, or an external drive, phone won't work.

You can't select tracks from a thumb drive. The songs will play in the order they are listed. You can, however, skip over a song.

For iTunes music to play, you need an application to drive it. Since the USB drive doesn't have an OS, I don't see how you can do that. Personally I use an iPod instead just for this.

If you mean via USB, no. It only charges and plays from flash drives using the USB. I would still recommend this item though, better than its competitors.

Yes you can. All mp3 playes when connected to a computer act just as a USB flash memory.

It works like a basic USB thumb drive, just drag and drop files. You could easily just 'add folder' and name it "So-and-so's playlist" and add all of the songs you want on there. No software needed

Yes you can. Put usb in , move switch to usb. You cannot select what song to play. chuck

Unfortunately not... and in fact it only appears to cycle through the songs in the "root" folder of the USB drive. Another improvement would be to have a "random" or "shuffle" setting for the songs, but as it stands... the only option is to listen to them in the order they appear on the drive. Still, despite these limitations, the little unit has great sound and the FM radio is very good.
