If power is lost and then restored, will it start playing at the beginning of the MP3 track automatically?

It seems to pickup where it left off when I plug it back in after being off for a day or so. I don't know if this will be true over a long period of time if it is unplugged from power or if you remove the usb stick or SD card while it is off.

Yes, it will respond to your radios buttons such as next song, or back to the beginning of current song

If you shut if off while a song is still playing, it will come right back to where it had been playing when you start it up.

No, and this is horribly annoying. Even a brief outage resets the clocks, alarms and everything - you have to completely reprogram everything. If you have power issues at all I would advise against it.

No, turning the unit off will clear the memory. When it is powered on again, the unit resets to begin playback from the first track.

Honestly never tried it. It does work GREAT when manually started. Need to transfer the file to a PC or MP3 player and it sounds FANTASTIC!

I had the same problem. I think it's programmed to power down when there's no sound, like a pause in the music, but then is too slow to come back on. Mine is parked in my basement since I threw away the box and couldn't return it.

Yes, when you power down the device, and then power it up again, it starts playing at the same position that you stopped it.

I'm not sure...I don't leave it on when it's not in use. I only turn it on when I go to back up my files and then I power down after I'm done/eject.

It only runs from the car cigarette lighter or power jack, you do not have to charge it. Also, there is no "on/off" switch - If the device has power there will be a green light on the power plug (next to the USB jack) and you will see an FM channel on the display. If there's no power light or channel displayed then check the power outlet you're using. There is also an auto shut-off feature. If the transmitter experiences 50 seconds of silence it will shut itself off. To turn it back on just plug in your mp3 player and turn the volume up. Hope this helps.

I have never had an outage, but it's fully manual, so I would expect it to restart exactly where you set it.

It should connect automatically. It'll even continue playing your music where u left off.

Yes it automatically starts playing once you have inserted the SD card. It's a very easy device to use. Highly recommended.

Yes it will. If you are listening to a recorded program and power down, it will immediately go to the file that you were listening to and to the point last heard when powered back up.

I checked on Creative's website. Here is their answer:'No. But the player can resume its play back position after it is powered up. If the player is paused before it is power down, the player will still continue to play once it is switched on.'

It depends on how long it's off for. If it's only off for ten minutes or so, it will pick up where you left off. If it's off for much longer than that, it goes back to the first song you downloaded.

Your radio needs to be tuned to a station that carries the imbedded data. I lost power one time and the radio lost time and date. The radio updated over night. Provided you are tuned to the correct station it should return.
