Can you access music files from your phone by plugging into the flash drive?

I plugged in my note 3. It recognized the phone. It could not scan and located the mp3s on my phone. So the answer is no. Just a USB stick.

Yes you can use a thumb drive and yes you can have file folders. Also you can connect to iPhone and iPods and get full access to music on them (Artists, Playlists, etc). Also, this gives you a port to power your devices. Personally, I have an iPod in the glovebox (connected to rear USB) and use the front to connect / charge my phone.One note, personally after installing I would have rather gone with a unit that has two rear ports instead of one in the front. This would allow me to put the plug anywhere I want via an extension cord. This would then have a cleaner look than having the cable come out of the front of the unit.

Yes it will play any music off any size flash drive. And it shows name, album name ect. So yes.

Yes; I put music on it like I was putting files onto a thumb drive (from a PC USB port). Once your music files have been loaded, the (supplied) USB connector (which is USB on one end and 3.5 mm headphone connector on the other) is unplugged, and the headphone is plugged in instead. The main thing I'm not 100% happy about is the touch controls (for volume, pause/play and FFW/RWD) sometimes activate when I didn't intend, and other times have to be repeatedly tapped before working.

I think it depends what phone or mp3 you have.....otherwise you probably can't

I went to ES File Manager and it shows up as USB Drive 1.1.1 Once connected, My Moto X found the music on it immediately and added the songs to my library. File transfer from phone to microSD works to, but is dependent on the file manager you use.

You can download movies and music onto a flashdrive and pkug it into the usb port to play them,or buy a hdmi to usb adapter and play your phone through the tv

I have not found a way to have the phone recognize the flash drive. So no, it will not work, you can't watch movies or even have files on the flash drive connect to the phone through the dock.

There are two USB connections-- one for plugging in a USB thumb drive, and the other for connecting directly to a computer using a USB cable. You can load songs and style files from a thumb drive or directly from a computer using the "Music Soft Downloader" program. There is internal flash memory, so you can also load songs and styles to the internal flash (but only 5 styles at once), that way you can load some MIDI songs and style files in the internal memory so they'll be retained when you turn off the power, and then swap between various USB thumb drives if desired.

You just plug it and open the file explorer. In there you can access the flash drive.

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.

You will need memory card reader with a computer in order save music files into the card like USB thumb drive. You can just drag file like you did on the USB thumb drive.

Yes you can. You plug with a normal USB cord to a computer and it becomes a new removable disk. Directories are playlists and you can copy your mp3 files into it.
