How is the song activated? Does it start playing automatically when you open the lid? Do you have to wind it or is there a switch you have to flip?

This is a musical, jewelry box with a wind up key on the bottom, and the music plays automatically when you lift the lid.....It is beautiful with a sweet, meaningful script on the front surrounded by a lovely scene as the background......

From the school of hard knocks. the long button the the left side is off/on. slide it down and hold it down to turn the unit on. once it is on, i use the 4 sides of the touch button below the visual display. the right side is play or stop and it is also enter or select. the left side is reverse or pop up one menu. all of my music is under Musc and then Albums. so i use the 4 edges of the bottom button to select the album i want to hear then i select play all. the right side button is volume. i have to press it a few times to adjust the volume. i use Windows Media Player on my desktop to rip music from my CDs to the desktop. then i copy it over to the file structure on the MP3 player. there is a setting or options button on the lower right side but i don't know how to use it. my guess is we can set the time of day and more.

It's actually funny...I don't really know. I never did figure it out. When my son turned 4 months am started banging the toy he changed the tune. I tried banging it myself, nothing but the same music came on. I hand the toy back and he bangs it and the music changed. I'd ask him but he doesn't talk yet...Sorry I'm no help. My sons keeping it a secret. He's 1 now, hopefully someone else can help.

There's a sliding button just to the left of the headphone jack. make sure it's on "CD" and not "FM". Then just put a CD inane push the play button. that looks like "I>". If it doesn't play hit play again. It's touchy and I noticed sometimes I'll hit it twice by accident, which means it starts to play but pauses before the CD starts.

I've never used this feature, but to answer you question my husband turned on the music. Apparently each of the 5 songs plays for about 30 seconds and then plays again,and again, and again for approximately 20 minutes. You select which song you want to play. I hope this answers your question. The monitor is really a sanity saver because it lets me do some things while the baby sleeps. One more thing, don't expect to see anything on the screen in bright sunshine. It is completely washed out in that kind of light, but well worth having outside because you can hear the baby when he wakes up. I wouldn't be without it.

I never got any instructions. The seller didn't even know the brand name so I could look it up. My son figured out how to drag and drop music to it but it is very confusing. You have to look at the screen to see what it is on, radio or music. Music makes it play your stored songs. You can raise the volume but it is hard to get it back off that feature. Just look at the screen if you can see it. It is too small for my eyes.

Yes, just push the button and it goes to the next song, push the other button and it starts the current song over or push it twice and it goes back a song. I don't have it in front of me so I can't specify which button is which but it is pretty intuitive.

Urs you can change the songs. The controls are on the top of the boom box. Only problem is the controls work best if the songs are already downloaded on your phone. If you use Pandora or spotify and try using the controls it god back to whatever you were doing before you stared playing music. But overall I enjoy it, it works great for canoe trips

Hi,The card plays in two modes. . . straight through or random play. Interestingly, going back and forward again in random mode does not repeat the same songs again. It does pick up where it left off. The Android app allows you jump between folders as well. No tracks are shown. In that sense, it truly plays blind. When not in Random play it will loop around the songs in the order that they were written to the card. There is support documentation that explains this.

Yes. A button turns the music on or off. The tune is not very soothing...kind of shrill.

I believe after an hour or 2 of being inactive, it automatically shuts off. Once you sync with blue tooth, everytime you turn it on, it will start playing music from your device. Do what I do and keep the remote at a convenient location. Overall this speaker is totally worth the price surprisingly coming from a CD manufacture company. Definitely good for outdoor or bed room.

Once you wind it up, the box has to be open for music to play. If that doesn't work then I would definitely return it because there must be something else wrong.

There is a little switch under the valcro flap where you change the tunes it plays

My baby likes the music, it's is just baby lullabie. You have to spin it to play so it depends how many times you spin it for music to last, but it isn't too longitud about 5 min. It is not too loud.

I came here by searching the web for the exact same thing. I just picked up my daughter's and it played a song by itself. We've had this for over 2 years and this is the first time it happened. Whoa...

There is a continuous mode that (thankfully!) plays different tunes to the activate mode. I alternate between the two and when my bub was little I positioned the monkey above his feet (during activate mode) as he was more likely to kick it into song than to pull on it.

Sadly, no. You must select a song. There is an on/off switch on the mic but even if it's on, it will only work after you select a song. I'm still glad I purchased this though. My 3 year old still has yet to break it and we've had it for almost a year now. Also he and my one year old really enjoy this toy. The baby just puts the mic up to mouth an goes aaahhhh. It's so funny to watch her. My 3 year old has learned to watch the numbers and letters that go by on the screen and sing them along with the music. I am still unable to find anything for toddlers that you can just use the mic with. Hope this helps. Sadly, no. You must select a song.
