Will it play mp3-file CDs? This is a type of CD. Please don't respond unless you know for sure, thanks!

Yes it will, I have tried one that my brother created a while back but we did not have the equipment to try it on until I got the MCR-042. Hope this helps. Also it will play mp3s of a USB flash drive too.

The MCR-042 plays both .mp3 and WMA discs no problem. It also can play from a USB thumb drive. You can skip and ff/few songs from the front panel. However you need the remote to navigate among folders. Please see my review for more info.FWIW...I paid only $120 for the pink one in early June 2014. The MCR-042 has been discontinued by Yamaha. It has been replaced by the MCR-B142 which has Bluetooth and a few other goodies. I don't own that one, however, so I cannot review it.

I plug my external USB drive into the computer. Not sure if it would work like an MP3 player. I think there is a driver on the MP3 player that allows the music to play.

The copy on the box says "audio input jack for connecting MP3 players..." It is top loading for CDs. Hope that helps.

MP3 CDs contain much more information than a regular CD. A regular CD will play on an MP3 player. But an MP3 won't play on a regular player. I'm no expert, but I think this is right.

I'm not sure what you're asking? If it's to 'burn' an MP3 song onto a CD, I believe you would have to have the proper equipment (ie, from MP3's on your computer to an applicable disc drive. As of itself, this would not happen using this player alone. And, then you would have to have 'bought' the songs on your MP3. Does this answer your question?

Nope it won't. I ordered it and had to send it back.You just have to use a regular CD changer it you want to play CD's

It plays audio through either a USB, a headphone jack or Bluetooth. So yes of course you can play mp3s; I wouldn't recommend it as a CD player

Yes, but not mp3's that are on cd. It will only play copies of a digital cd and not a rip to mp3.

I'm not sure what your question is. Are you asking if it can play CDs you recorded yourself? or are you asking if it can play an mp3 file? I didn't try to play a home made cd as the sound was lousy from the speakers, and as others mentioned, when a new CD was loaded the noise was so loud that I couldn't stand it. returned it immediately.

I don't think so but I don't know what an mp3 disc looks like. The slot appears to accomodate CD's as it is thin and width of a CD.

I believe that the ad said that it was mp3 compatible. Unfortunately, the one that I ordered off from Ebay was a piece of junk as it didn't play my cds so, I sent it back and got myself an ipod player.

Yes it will play CDs! When inserted, the laptop will choose the default player like Windows Media Player or iTunes.

Yes, it will play all MP3's and compatible audio files. It will play files in alphabetical or numerical order.

I don't think it will. It plays MP3 and WMA files (stored on CD or USB) and of course normal CDs. You can always convert WAV files to one of these formats.

yes. mp3 CDs play just fine but I'm having a problem with the casette player. Rattling noise during play is very distracting and it is in the player NOT the casette

I can only give a guess because I dislike iTunes. I had it once on my computer and it took over everything. Possibly the program to play the songs on your mp3 have to be played through a program on your computer, provided by iTunes. I have loaded hundreds of songs off CD's and never had a problem. Can you make a CD from your iTunes on your computer, and then do a 'copy of that CD to your mp3?

Dear Gene, I don't have an MP3 CD that I can try and play to answer your question. The Sony box says it has CD-R/RW playback capability, but there is no mention of MP3 anywhere, so I am pretty sure it does not.Katia
