This has no hard drive? So it has to stay connected to internet to read music files? Does it have amplification?

it can pull music from internet or also any DLNA device which is a lossless format to store music in. it does not have amplification, you will need to connect to a sterio / amp

The computer reads the music from pendrive not download directly to your computer

This device does not have any of the features you asked about, strictly a digital music player, it does need to use micro SD card to store the music

This product offered on Amazon would need a disc drive. I recommend that you visit the Acoustica website to see if their digital downloads meet your needs.

I owned this device for 1 whole day when I found out that I couldn't save playlists on it, but I'm pretty sure there is no Wi-Fi capability. It is more like a portable hard drive that will play videos and music. It connects to a computer for downloading of files. I've owned other Cowon devices and am very impressed with the audio quality, but the smaller ones will store playlists.

It is a MIDI controller it has no sound stored on it yes you'll need to hook it up to the computer to get sounds or connect it to a synth rack/box for sound. So it can function without the computer but you'll need a synth rack for sound and you need power via USB such as a USB outlet adapter.

I am not sure at all, outside my expertise. I loaded my own music (Jimmy Buffett) on a USB stick, it has been running for months non-stop.

NO! This is not a laptop for storing your media. It can however play your media files. I think you should get real laptop or desktop as your primary computer. Because if you are really stranded and have to buy too many add-ons to this notebook for all your daily needs like a better display, sound, input devices, etc etc.. But if you want to store your music files for mobility, choose a passport drive for extra storage, they are light, variety of sizes upto 320GB.

There is no hard drive built into this head unit. If you read the reviews it should have been clear enough. All music has to be stored on a thumb drive, and there is a hard wired tethered USB port that you can hide in an inconspicuous place. The only way you'll obtain a head unit like this one with a hard drive are the ones made to accept DVD's and have video playback, which this one does not have.However, all music on your thumb drive will be accessed via menues and the file names you have given it. Again, some of the reviews go in depth as to how to achieve this.

It doesn't have computer or Midi port. It has an output for headphones and connection for external power.

No, it is not a streaming device and has no networking. It is a Karaoke Machine only

No it does not, only the ability to transfer mp3 files to its storage. And I returned mine, when they cracked apart just above the nose piece after a couple months of minimal use.

You can download mp3 or other music files like .flac to it. it is not a streaming device, and does not have an internet connection to use a service.
