If it doesn't play music from a thumb drive what exactly is the USB port there for?

It does play music from a USB Jump Drive or an External Hard Drive. That is the purpose of the USB port. You may want to check what format the jump drive is formatted in and make sure that it will work with the player. It may take either fat32 or NTFS format, but I am sure that it takes NTFS. Also, it only plays MP3 files.

It reads my FAT32 formatted flash drives instantly and shows full ID Tags in the display. External drives must be properly formatted!

If you have a usb mp3 player it will not read the music files. If you copy mp3 files to a usb drive (no folders) it will play them.

I havent plugged a flash drive into it. I believe the usb on it is only for power ( thats all ive used it for and when I plug my phone in, it doesn't give me the option to access it any other way.).. its a Bluetooth radio transmitter..

The USB port is only for charging. You need bluetooth or 3.5mm audio port in order to play your music.

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.

No. You can just play music from either the thumb drive or cd but there is no interaction between the two.

This uses a SD card. I believe it can also use a USB thumb drive.Mine is defective, so I haven't used it much. Initially it would generate a motorboat noise over the audio within a few seconds of use, now it plays up to about 15 minutes before the distortion starts.

Thanks for your question, this item is a bluetooth headphones, it can allow you listen to music wireless with all devices which have bluetooth functions. No need a USB port.

its probably bad, should return it, had mines for 10 months now, been able to play mp3's flawlessly from the USB and SD ports

Yes and no depending on the specifics of your question that I'm lacking. It can play a "burned" CD-R. If you are referring to playing music off a CD-R that is in data only format, it cannot. There is no USB port on this system. Hope this helps.

It's not possible to play directly through external HDD. You can play music only through flash memory card(sold separately)

As everyone else seems to be saying, the thumb drive will play in order that you placed the songs on it; however, you can skip using the buttons on the speaker itself.

Yes, you can play music directly from a flash drive. You can plug in an size flash drive into the usb port.

You might try wedging a small piece of thin plastic to secure the port. If that doesn't work, you are probably in the market for a new MP3 player.

I think it has more to do with the digital frame than the drive. I would be shocked that the frame has a USB 3 port. If by some fluke it does, then this would work better, but I can't believe that it would make any difference. I copied a few video clips and songs and just tried playing them via a USB 2 port, and they played just fine without any staggering, or distortions. Again, I have to believe it's the frame, not the drive. Hope this helps. ---Kelvington
