When playing an mp3 file on a USB thumb drive, do you have to go to a menu to pause the file or is there a dedicated pause button on the faceplate?

You can only pause via the menu. The remote doesn't have a pause button either.

I don't think that you can pause - if you stop, a file is saved, and if you start recording again a new file will be created. If you use voice activation mode, recording will halt if there is no sound, then restart in same file, but if you get 'music on hold' or voice announcements, you are out of luck.

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.

Yes you can pause SD card & skip fwd/bck. Won't show track & I think it will start again at track you stopped it at.

I tried a thumbdrive with .mp3 files and it plays sequentially. I have not tried the SD port nor any other music file formats.

I believe it creates a new file, if you can pause it, I haven't figured it out!

If you want it to resume playing, just touch play/pause. If you don't want it to resume at the point you quit, press Stop twice. It will pick up where you left off, even if you remove the disk and reinsert it later. Does this answer your question? I'm not certain I know what you're asking.

Both the CD player and Cassette player have pause buttons, they both work, although on some occasions when I've paused a CD and than resume play it will be on the same track (song) that I paused it on but it will be in a different spot in the song, usually a few seconds ahead of where it was paused, no big deal though.

That isn't something I've tried, however the manual says when playing CD/MP3/WMA discs, you can select Normal Play, Repeat Play, Shuffle Play or Program Play. For the USB drive, you can select Single Repeat, All Repeat, Selected Folder Play, Selected Folder Repeat Play, Shuffle Play, Program Play and Program Repeat Play. Does this help you?

If you are listening to a song, and then shut the mp3 off, and then turn it back on, you'll end up back at the main menu. But if you click Music, it will go right back to where you were (same song, same place within the song).

This IS an MP3 player, it is not a headset for a player. There is a Micro SD card slot in the headset. Load your MP-3 files on the SD card. Insert the card, use the three control buttons. Center button is start/stop. Left is 1) momentary moves one song forward. 2) hold the button over 1 second, it now controls the headset volume. Right button 1) one song back, 2) volume down.The Micro USB connector charges the headset. If you turn the headset on while the Micro USB is connected to your computer, you should then see the Micro SD card as an external drive (in Windows) that can be copied to and from.

Yup, its a feature. I use it while driving, and i never have to look at or touch my devices while using bluetooth. As for USB, i believe you can do the same. The MENU button is also the play/pause button.

yes it does play a usb flash drive, it starts at the beginning of the song that you left it on...

As someone else mentioned, I don't think it will play files from a thumb drive if you have the charger plugged in. Try unplugging the charger, and make sure you don't have an SD card plugged in at the same time. Also, for right or wrong, the unit appears to remember where you left off over multiple thumb drives. So if you re-connect a thumb drive, it probably won't automatically start at the beginning. After figuring out those two quirks, mine seems to play fine with older converted MP3 files across multiple directories.

Look at the front of the unit. Notice the center main button? Above that is another (toggle) that looks like this &gt;II. This is the pause button which will stop the music. If you pause the music and turn off the unit, when you turn it on again you are still in pause mode and music will not play until you toggle that mode to start playing once more. This will also show up on the bottom of the display to the left of the timeline as &gt; or &gt;II for play mode or pause. You can stop the music by simply turning the unit off, this causes no damage. When you power on again the music resumes where you left off.

Yes, though I not exactly sure which function you want to pause. If you want to pause while recording, just hit the record button again (the button is actually labeled as "REC/PAUSE"). Then when you hit it again, recording will resume. If you want to pause while listening in playback mode, just hit the "Enter" button (also labeled as "PLAY/STOP"). Hitting it again will resume the playback. And lastly, if you want to temporarily pause or lock all functions, there is a "Hold" slide button that will do so, without shutting the device off.

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.
