Can it play mp3 music from USB key?

unfortunately, this is the one feature that the unit lacks, which is somewhat odd since it has all the hardware support to accomplish this, e.g., a USB port. It would be fairly simple to add this feature with updated firmware. The alternative is to install some some software on an "always on" PC or mac, which the siesta flow locates via WiFi and stream your music collection that way. The good news is the firmware can be updated via the internet, so perhaps future updates will include this.

I believe the short answer is no. Unless im mistaken, this has the ability to play back mp3 files from SD cards and USB drives. Apart from these, it only amplifies sound from other sound sources, such as mp3 players, cd players, smartphones, computers and so on, by use of a 3.5mm stereo audio cable.

Yes, it will play from a Fat32 formatted 8GB(max) usb drive stick, with standard mp3's(it will support at max a 256bitrate mp3)

I wouldn't trust it. Check your manual about USB devices - my Q5 manual specifically states that USB connections won't work with mp3 devices (ie NOT smartphones, ipods, etc) ... so I'm not sure what device you can plug into this USB connection. I'd be surprised if you find any review for this device that says it actually works at all, but apparently some reviews say it will work with a thumb drive or portable hard drive. Who listens to music off of a portable hard drive?!?

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.you only need to sync it with your laptop. I have played many downloaded music and it's fine

Yes, it has a usb port and will play mp3's loaded onto a thumb drive. It does get confused at times though and must be re-booted to play everything. Good price tho.

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

All mp3 files require a program to play them. Windows has it's own program so that iTunes is not required. So playing music stored on the flash drive is as easy as plugging it in to any PC and double clicking a file.

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.

You can attach a flash drive or anything with a USB plug, however I am not sure if the player will read all types of media. I have not tried to play anything a USB.

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

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.
