I would think so. It should show up as a external drive(s) when plugged in and you just drag and drop or copy music to it.

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.

I'm not sure if you can plug an External USB device and play the files, you could however share your DVD/BluRay drive on your computer and play the files over the newtork (wired gigabit connection to be stable). It will play bluray/dvd iso or raw files. I bought a few 4TB externals and just created ISO files out of my blurays so I don't have to get up and get the disc, I can just select them from a list and play them.

Yes you can. All mp3 playes when connected to a computer act just as a USB flash memory.

So you can have an external drive? I don't see why not. There is a mini USB port on the player.It will play mp4's sequentially, the same with pics and music. It may have plug and play capabilities... TommyD

It does have a USB port for playing media from a USB drive, but both units died before I got to try it.

I have an external USB hard drive connected and it works fine. You can even play back files from the USB drive. I have a 1 TB external drive.

No. And, I can't get mine to play ANY mp3 on sd card or usb stick. May be operator error, a fluke or whatever - but now it's my fluke :-(.

It does play music from a USB Jump Drive or an External Hard Drive. That is the purpose of the USB port. You may want to check what format the jump drive is formatted in and make sure that it will work with the player. It may take either fat32 or NTFS format, but I am sure that it takes NTFS. Also, it only plays MP3 files.

No. You can make a CD with MP3 files and it play it on this but there is no way to plug in any devices.

Manual says it plays MP3s and shows still pictures. Only works with Fat up to Fat32 flash drives, not external Hard drives.

Yes Joshua, you can plug-in a USB flash drive into this Sony MEXN4000BT and will play audio files. It can recognize audio files under MP3 (.mp3), WMA (.wma) and WAV (.wav) format and the folders within it. -Ely

No, you could use an external HD. Yes, you can play audio CD's the are jacks in the back. The tutorial's on Youtube are very helpful also.

Yes, you can play music directly from a flash drive. You can plug in an size flash drive into the usb port.
