Can you use the front usb on this receiver to play mp3's off of a USB jump drive? Or is it only for using ipod's?

Yes you can, matter of fact you can plug your Cell Phone in via USB and access your songs that are stored on your phone via SD Card

I have an Alpine CDE-103BT and a 120 gig ipod. I have installed everything and it only plays through my front speakers and I cannot control the volume, bass and treble. I have the plug to play the ipod through the stereo but controls are limited and I would much rather use this unit (Harmon/Kardon DP 1US). Please help me if you can. I have the joystick and the display already mounted. For that matter, I have the brain mounted to. Like I said, it works, but only with limited controls which defeats the purpose.

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.

there is no USB input, but the AUX Input will accept low level audio signals from other devices. If the device has a HEADPHONE OUT, it would likely play through the AUX input.

Only through a rear auxiliary port. There is no USB connection. the three options to play are the front dock, auxiliary or Bluetooth.

it has two USB's one in the front and one in the back, the back is a cable where you can guide it to wherever you want for example the glovebox of your car.If you are talking about if it can play USB sticks/dongles... then i think yes it can, just put the music on the root of the USB stick and it will play, i believe i did this once with this cd player, however the sound, even at max volume seemed a god amount lower, than when i just had my ipod connected or if a CD was playing.

I'm not sure I understand the answers. Can I plug a flash drive filled with my music into the Flip 2? My mp3 player? Thank you.

I play my Creative Zen MP3 player by attaching it to the aux input. I dislike Apple iPods and do not know if there is an adapter for the aux to enable an iPod but the Zen works great.

Hi. I have this speaker and wanted to use it with my iPod. You can't. It only has a USB port. I dumped a bunch of songs on a thumb drive and used that instead. But don't use a large drive. I think it accepted an 4 gig. Not the 32 gig I bought for it.

I drive a FJ and I have a stereo that I have two USB outlets. The stereo has a USB App that I use which shows the music on the USB Stick as well all the Recorded Radio Programs I have and I play them. I have over a dozen USB Sticks which I used but now I am switching over to Kingston Hyperx Predators because of the vast storage space and uses of their small compact sticks. Some stereo's only have USB slots for Map and system updates so you have to check if your USB is used for that, mine has a SD card slot for updates. My friends use their USB access for music, just like I do but not all stereo's do this.

The USB and SD slots at the front of the speaker system is used for playing USB Memory Sticks or SD Cards only. While playing these media types, the speaker controls can be selected to skip to next or play random etc. Thank You for your question.

Any USB works, You must load a playlist of the music you want to hear onto the thumb drive and it will play them in sequence or random I believe, It can't record to the drive just play.

No USB port--strictly a CD player and radio. I do not know how one could play mp3's with this. I also had to use amplifying headphones with the used player I bought since the volume is quite low with regular headphones. Batteries do seem to last quite a while, however. Regards, Doug B.

You certainly can, that is how I almost always use the player. I have a short flash drive that I populated with music from my computer that I plug into the system and it plays it with no problem.

I don't know the answer to that as I haven't tried. Sorry, but I won't be able to try it out now that the stereo is secured. However, the USB in the front is usually used for devices like memory sticks.

There is a USB connection not an Apple connection. I haven't tried hooking my IPod up to it. It does pretty much everything else.

The receiver doesn't have any USB and any bluetooth connectivity. There is a connection to an optional iPod dock. It is not included with this receiver but it was included in another setup I have at a different location.
