Does the unit have a loop feature or will it continuously loop files on an SD or USB thumb drive?

Yes when it hits the last song, it will start over at the beginning of the USB card or SD card

In USB mode, it is capable of loop. Even if you turn it off, the audio file will continue to play as soon as you switched it on.

If I have 10 mp3 songs on the USB and it has played them all - does it stop or can it be set to repeat them over and over?

There is no play list, it continuously plays. Very basic but it works great for the money.

No loop feature specifically, and I don't believe I ever left it on long enough to tell whether it restarted from the beginning when it was through. I was more in the habit of hooking up an ipod shuffle (which looped). I'd check on it, but it's boxed up at the moment.

Yes, it will read whatever is on the USB flash drive. It also accepts SD cards.

It will loop around to the beginning. It is auto--I didn't see any info about changing it so there are no options. I did read that when the G sensor detects an impact that the device will save that file and will prevent it from being erased.

I'm not sure about a video because I have never tried it, but I have 300+ photo inspirational quotes loaded and they do loop over and over during the course of the day, plus I also loaded some MP3 music files that also play and loop. I would think that a video files would also loop.

It does resume from previous place when playing from an SD card. Not from a USB atleast that was my experience.

It records continuously. You can set it to record in 2 min, 3 min , 5 min loops. For example, if you set it to the 3 min loop, after the third minute it will start all over again and record a new loop. I recommend getting a 32 mb sd card so that you can store a lot of footage in case you need it. After you exceed the space on the sd card, it will delete the older files. This device is great but it has terrible instructions. You have to play with the settings on your own to figure everything out.

It should do loop recording without erasing it. If you want to erase or format the micro sd card, just put the card in your computer. You should not have to erase it since with loop recording it will continuous record.

Every time you start the engine, the video starts on new session or file. If you continue driving for say one hour, it will create new file every few minutes. Depend on size of the USB thumb drive, e.g. if yours is 20GB, then it will accumulate many files for many hours, and I think when all 20GB is filled then it will start writing over the oldest file automatically. My 20GB thumb drive is not full yet because I often remove my dashboard camera to avoid exposing to southern CA sun light and heat and forgot to mount it back. Other customers maybe able to confirm this. Kenny

Yes it records in a loop mode-the oldest file in the memory card is overwritten.

The key question is whether the device will play a single track continuously, i.e. in a loop. If so, I think we can fool it by using a power only USB cable connected to a charger, not a PC. Can someone answer the first part of my comment?

Can't answer that, because I returned mine the next day. It would play one MP3 CD and then the next CD it would do an endless search without starting. I didn't even bother to try the SD card function. It is a nice looking unit and sounds good, but the quality of the key features on this player are NOT worth taking a chance on!! I paid fiftybucks for an MP3 player by memo rex...it works great!! No SD card feature though. :(

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

It does loop record on a sd card. Also I love the fact that in an addition sends the pic to your email accounts. I recommend it.

It will stop, the built in software is very basic. There is an option that allow you to record over what's already on the card but it is a 10 minutes loop only : to me this is ridiculous !

It does have an alarm capability. It does have an option to repeat one song, and it has the ability to play a folder and then turn off (it beeps when it's finished playing the folder). I don't know about looping a folder.

I don't believe so. Typically one wouldn't have that many files on thumb drives unless they were tiny films to make random/shuffle an important option. The value of this player is to be able to carry in your pockets a complete player and films to be played on any hdmi screen.

Not sure what you mean . . .The "case" the flash drive is housed in includes the loop. It's all one piece.Hope this helps. I keep it with several others in a small, folding wallet, so the key ring feature is irrelevant for my use. The contact end is open, so I prefer to keep it away from my gardener's pockets!
