3.5 "Line-in" for Mp3 player? Does anyone know if it includes one?
647926
It has two pair of RCA inputs on the back (one labeled dock and one labeled MD or tape). I bought a 1/8" to RCA splitter from Radio Shack for my iPod and plugged it into the RCA jacks and it works quite well. The RCA jacks are the only audio in. An earlier version of this stereo seemed to have a 1/8" input located on the front panel as well but that's gone away in this version. I don't know what a 3.5 audio jack is but if it's not the same as RCA, there isn't one. Hope this answers your question.

according to the documentation. I think you can hook up an mp3 player via the headphone jack. That is what they mean by Portable Audio Ready (PAR)

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.

not sure - but I will tell you I was very disappointed with this device and used it only a short time before I had to buy a different MP3 player...

No, there's no line out--but there is a 1/8th inch stereo female out that you can plug headphones into. You can, of course, adapt that headphone jack to work for you as a line out. Another interesting option would be to open the back (held on with Velcro) and connect a *mono post-amp lineout adaptor* to the positive and negative speaker terminals. That way, you'd get exactly what you're hearing out of the speaker to go onward to you board/PA. That *item*, though, is a bit of a specialist piece--a post-amp D.I. box basically. I happen to know how to make them from scratch.

No and it is a piece of junk. First one they me was broken. The one I have now , one side of speakers will not work and the MP3 jack shorted out within the month. Poorest quality of workmanship I have ever seen/bought. DO NOT BUY!!

No. I have found this model MP3 player very difficult to use and would not recommend it.

Assuming that's what you mean. It is a standard cigarette lighter plug. Or are you referring to this? Auxiliary port to connect other MP3 player (3.5 mm audio cable required and not included).

Yes that's correct. Use mode "Line". But mine is broken. Connect the aux cable in with my MP3 player, have to wiggle the plug to work. Other second unit works fine. I think the best use as MP3 player with micro SD or USB card.

It's 199, not 1999, right?And in your previous post before that one, you were referring to the soundfly I assume. There is no remote for this speaker and I assume also no way to set to shuffle.Does it look in a particular folder first (MP3, or something else) or does it just go through the directories in order of creation?If there are other non-supported files on the card does it ignore them or do they count against the 199 file limit?

Hi Annie, I just checked and it actually has written "MP3 IN" just to the side of the iFit port. These are at the top and very front of the display/control panel.

Actually, I had not tried it. I use the 3.5mm input. So I tried a generic MP3 player, an iPod Classic, and a USB stick that I dumped some songs onto. Not only does it not auto-play when turned on, I can't get it to play at all! The LED next to the USB port blinks as if it's playing, and stops blinking when you hit pause, but no sound ever happens. Not good. I don't need that feature at all, but I suggest this is probably not going to do what you need. It's a decent enough amp in all other ways - I use it to play my iPod (analog out) in my work shop and it's fine for that. But I'd avoid this amp for anything fancy like you're asking.

There are line in inputs, but if you have one of the older style (like mine) turntables that requires a ground - this unit does not have that capability. I know there are newer turntables that don't require this - just haven't invested in one myself.

I can't figure that out either! It would have been nice that they would include some instructions, huh? I think that part of the problem is that my computer is not compatible with this brand of MP3 player, so when I connect it up, nothing happens. :/ I haven't sent it back to Amazon, yet, though because it is always a pain to return stuff and I'm stubborn and still believe there's a way to get this thing to work! :)

Yes there is, a normal mini-jack line in. When plugged in, it 'takes over' the main output function above radio or sd card (if used), so there is no need to manualy switch between preferred input options.

I'm not positive what a 3.1 line input is but I'm assuming it is an AUX jack or Stereo jack? If so then Yes it does have one. uou can use a typ. male to male stereo cable to plug in any portable device
