I tried to use a toshiba 1tb external hd instead of a flash drive, and it wouldn't store the mp3 to the external hd.

I have only used the CISNO with a flash drive and it worked after the flash was reformatted to FAT32. Using a hard drive might work if you're willing to reformat to the older FAT32. Good Luck.

Unfortunately, my experience is that the hard drive will not connect with the CISNO system; I suspect that there are control commands that need sent that the CISNO system simply cannot send. Either way, an inexpensive 4G or 8G USB drive would be more than enough for almost any use, and as you take the audio files off the USB drive onto the hard drive, you can rename them to your pleasure. Ah, my advice, by the way, is to keep good notes as to which file is what tape, too.

Try formatting the thumb drive. Try NTFS. If that doesn't work, separate the file into parts. I use WinRAR. However, there are several freeware programs that would do it.

Unfortunately it only will load MP3 files not any other format. I Googled and found another one which does.

You need to have your music on a thumb drive, or an external drive, phone won't work.

I bought this thinking the same thing. When I tried to do this, it did not recognize the files that were on the USB. So in my experience it did not work.

I put my external hard drive and didnt play anything because it didnt recognized it, maybe you can just put pen drives , you can controll it with your ipod ipad android thats a cool thing

My computer (WIN 7) couldn't see this thing either. I don't think this MP3 player has any internal memory, which is why it doesn't show up under external drives. I uploaded music to a microSD, then inserted it into the MP3 player, and it worked fine. However, my overall feeling is that this MP3 player is a complete POS

Make sure your external USB drive is formatted for DOS. If you're using a Mac and the USB drive is format Mac OS Extended, the record function wont work.

Has anyone tried to connect an external HD to the USB port and saved their files?

Great question, I can't get that specific. I pulled a heard drive out of an old laptop and it has worked fine. Don't want to get that specific though. Good luck.

The flash drive and microSD have worked correctly. I have not done work with an external hard drive.

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.

I tried a thumbdrive with .mp3 files and it plays sequentially. I have not tried the SD port nor any other music file formats.

Actually, the pen drive would not work. It would have to be an MP3 player with the ability to play the files on it's own. Any mp3 player would do though. And they are pretty cheap these days.Good luck.

I only used my iPod and my cell phone. Other external hds im not sure. Im assuming it has to have a player to actually play the files. I have since gotten rid of this due to having a different car, so I wouldn't be able to test on my own.

I dunno if it's a formatting thing, but I tried to plug in my portable 120GB external drive, and it blanked. My 1GB stick came up with a menu though, so there's gotta be a size limit somewhere, I just don't know where it it.
