Is is necessary that I need an SD card to play the songs. Its ok that I have no songs saved but just connect it to my mp3 and listen to songs? Thanks

You can just connect to your mp3 player, but this unit is a piece of crap so I'd avoid it if I were you and invest in something better such as this Excelvan FM Transmitter Car Charger Compatible with Apple iPhone 4 3GS 3G iPod TOUCH MP3

Sadly I won't be able to answer your question sice my grandmother broke it even beforemi could try the sd card. I was able to use it a couple of days to listen to my pandora and talk on the phone while I was driving and able to listen to some that other person on the radio. I am sorry but after that it was destroyed.

I had the same problem. It turned out that some of the files were not MP3s but MP4s. Once the conversion was made to MP3s, I had no problems loading them on to an SD card.

I haven't tried that but I'm pretty sure you could. I personally use an 8GB SD card. However, it doesn't show the sub-directories and also there is no shuffle. So what I did was basically put all my songs in the root folder which works pretty well.

Protip: No player (as far as I am aware of) requires proprietary software.Proof? I have an iPod nano sitting on my bed, now, that has music loaded onto it, none of which was loaded using iTunes. I used MediaMonkey. If your proprietary software forces you to buy new versions of songs you already have, then scrap the software, because chances are, it's not actually proprietary.

Great - another neat option is the flash drive port. You can plug-in a flash drive with WAV files, and a list will appear on the screen. You can then scroll through and play with the songs.

Looks to me like there is no way to have the files play from the SD card by default. This is a major flaw, one of many.

I successfully use a SD card. Never tried anything else. Don't see how you could. Can you transfer your MP3/4 files to an SD card?

I hope this isn't a double post since I just responsed to someone else on this thread. I can confirm that you can indeed play videos from your SD card without having to transfer the files over the tablet. And you don't need a third party transfer program. I use the default program...once the transfer program is open, simply selected the card and selected whatever media you want to play. I purchased a 16gb card for my tablet s and have loaded it with movies only, so I cant speak to the ability to play music files...but I would assume the same would apply. Hopefully with ICS just around the corner, it will fix all this. As for the tablet...absolutely love it! I hope this isn't a double post since I just responsed to someone else on this thread.

E.Soares Thanks too for the Sylvania web site. Manual was extremely helpful. Had hopes NB530 would playback MP3 music on SD card also on DVD. Doesn't seem as though MP3 format is supported. Thanks again for listing information.

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.

It did not.... but everything I load I convert to mp3 anyway so I can play it on any device. Btw .... I love these players. I have 3. I bicycle, motorcycle, camp, etc. ..... use them all the time!

I'm going to ask you one more question if you don't mind. If I just want the best player I can find to listen to music and don't care about lists, album art, interfaces or anything else. I just want to put my songs on the player and listen to them in the order they come up, which do you recommend? (Can you tell I'm an old lady and just love to listen to music? LOL!) All that matters to me is good sound, ease of putting songs on the player, number of songs I can add to the player and how long it will play music on one charge. Even the Cowan 160 GB player sounds interesting to me.

Because the device itself does not register on a computer due to it's lack of an internal storage. To upload songs onto your MP3 player, you need to directly put them into the Micro SD using a Micro SD Card Reader that you can hook up to a computer. The cord you receive with the MP3 player is there basically only for charging and nothing more. Note, it is an MP3 player! No other file types than MP3 can be played on this player!

I put a MP3 file on my 32GB SDHC card, played fine. The next size up, 64GB, requires SDXC which is a different file format, haven't tested.

Yes, but you have to have a SD card you can't play music wireless from your phone only answer the phone. But, if your phone have a SD card you can take the music off it your phone and download it to the MP3 player. I got over 1000 songs on my SD card. If you have anymore question for me just email me again. Okay?

Does it have a shuffle?? I thought I read no it didn't then someone giving advise on a shuffle feature for this product...shuffle or no shuffle. It seems to be an issue with the songs playing through??

Please check what format your music is in. If it's mp3 than you are okay, check if your sd card or sd card reader is functional
