Yes, you can play music from a USB stick. I've played mp3s from my 8GB Crucial Gizmo. I also tried playing music from a portable (2.5") external hard drive, but the stereo usb port didn't have enough juice to power the hdd.

Not directly from say a thumb drive, if that's your question. It can, of course play MP3 files it receives from an attached computer (USB) or other player (CD Toslink) which uncompresses the files. CAUTION: I could NOT ever get the USB interface to work on Vista 64, so I returned the unit. Later bought their UDH01 DAC + HPA but the USB drivers crash my system. Now paperweight.

I had the same problem. I know Coby mp3 players play the wma format, but I don't know about any others.

I actually have my mp3 music on the computer and download it there. Then I hook up the mini usb to the USB and I can open the folder to view contents (you should get a windows pop-up) and then just drag music from my music folder to and/or from this folder.

All mp3 files require a program to play them. Windows has it's own program so that iTunes is not required. So playing music stored on the flash drive is as easy as plugging it in to any PC and double clicking a file.

You can play MP3 files that are on your computer, but I haven't found a way to bypass radio-frontier to get to an internet source

Yes you can. A USB flash drive functions like a hard drive or extra memory. Once you plug it into your USB port, you can download music , video or photos. Works as an extra storage device up to 256 GB.

Yes you can you can have files other than music and the radio will detect only the music and play it. You can also use a camera memory card and place music on it as well . That is one of the Main resons for my buy of this great sounding radio.Hope this helps with your research for a usb music player product.

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.

You can attach a flash drive or anything with a USB plug, however I am not sure if the player will read all types of media. I have not tried to play anything a USB.

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

you should be able to as long as it is not flac files that are going through as USB 2.0 are a bit slow for them.
