Try to return the radio. Mine is dysfunctional as the SD port and the CD player have not worked since day 1. It's poorly built and not worth the headaches. Save some money up and purchase a higher quality radio. BOSS=Poor quality

I have had my radio for over a year now. I had problems the first time I tried to play music from a USB flash drive. I tried another drive and it worked fine. I have no idea why the first one didn't work but formatted the second one and it worker perfectly.

Neither could I ! The USB port would not work with my laptop or MP3 player or other audio sources either. This unit has many other bugs as well. I returned mine after toying around with it for 30 days.. Sorry I couldn't really help with your problem, other than my strong recommendation to return it ASAP.....

Just make sure you have the right file format. I tried but it didn't work. Radio is really cheap.

So far my experience has been that it wont pick up anything. no FM stations come in. havent tried connecting an mp3 player

Sorry Jack. I did not have luck with it either. It seems the radio is the only thing I did have luck with.

What issues are you having? Does the unit power up? It can be tricky to find the right station to tune to. I had to switch from the default before I could hear my player.

I have had the same problem as mentioned by others. I bought it in 2013 and have struggled to tune in local FM stations, even with several different antennas. Nothing seems to work. Any additional suggestions?

I had the same problem, the instructions stink! I thought that something would come up that would guide me as to what to do, duh! I am not great at electronic know-how, but I finally figured out that you need a program, like Windows Media, to work the thing, it has no program of its own. I opened up Windows Media Player and clicked on Sync. Then it showed the MP player and I figured it out from there.

I never turn on FM radio. I sent one mp3 to my friend. I only download some songs from Chinese website. I even don't know there is FM radio with the mp3.

Luke, If you still need one, I have uploaded a User's Guide / Manual for this MP3 player. It's included at the end of my review. Rick S.

Sort of. It came with this tiny folded booklet with itty bitty print. I didn't even look at it. The thing is pretty self explanatory. Plug it into computer, go to MY COMPUTER, open the MP3 player, drag and drop MP3s into the MP3 player, unplug from computer, plug speakers into player, hit play. Button on top is the on/off. Then there are these buttons on the bottom to scroll through the limited menus (songs, EQ, repeat...) the silver button is to select what ever you have highlighted and then there is a back button, when pushed it will remember your selection. Play/pause and stop buttons are pretty obvious. Nothing fancy but it plays music and that's all I wanted. It is SUPER tiny. Sort of. It came with this tiny folded booklet with itty bitty print.

Please check what format your music is in. If it's mp3 than you are okay, check if your sd card or sd card reader is functional

Ann,I had trouble getting music to download but handed it to my granddaughter and she did. I can tell you there is a delay when you press the center button to turn it on and the first time I had to play with the volume. I love mine. Hope you get it to work because I love mine for swimming! Good luck.

I can't help you there, mine connects just fine, but I hope you didn't format the MP3 player beforehand, I remember seeing something in the instructions booklet about it. I don't have personal experience with your error but I would refer to the manual for any troubleshooting of that sort.

I'm having the same problem. All of the controls work with the music player, I've held down the FFwd button and turned up the phone, but still no sound. I just got it today, so I'm hoping it just needs more charge. It's a nice, rubbery texture. I'm thinking the only satisfaction I'm going to get out of it is watching it bounce really high when I kick it to the curb.
