Will this be able to play MP3 audio from a USB stick or SD card? I can't make that out from the pictures or the description

No, it will not. It will allow you to plug in an auxiliary (headphone) cable, old-style iPod, and a USB cable (for charging only).

You can use any MP3 player than utilize USB. You can also stream via bluetooth as it works perfect for me.

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.

Never tried it but I can't imagine how a mp3 player could work as there is no input. The only jacks available are one for headphones (at the lower part of the device) and a pair of RCA for stereo outlet easily seen on the picture up right corner.

Check the type of sound file you have downloaded. It will not play MP4 only MP3. I had to convert some of mine to get them to play. You will be able to see the type of file if you look at the disk contents in explorer.

Yes sorry that post for Soundfly SD unit. What kind of SD card are you using? This unit can play WMA and MP3 files with NON-DRM protection.ArthurSatechi Technical Support

Yes, it has a usb port and will play mp3's loaded onto a thumb drive. It does get confused at times though and must be re-booted to play everything. Good price tho.

It plays on mine with no problem! What I suggest you to do is to try playing the same stick on some other equipment such as Car USB port or just a regular computer.If it does play then its a faulty player you got but if it does not play anywhere else then the problem is with the stick it self.Does the SD card with the same MP3'S playing on this unit?

I believe the short answer is no. Unless im mistaken, this has the ability to play back mp3 files from SD cards and USB drives. Apart from these, it only amplifies sound from other sound sources, such as mp3 players, cd players, smartphones, computers and so on, by use of a 3.5mm stereo audio cable.

I wouldn't trust it. Check your manual about USB devices - my Q5 manual specifically states that USB connections won't work with mp3 devices (ie NOT smartphones, ipods, etc) ... so I'm not sure what device you can plug into this USB connection. I'd be surprised if you find any review for this device that says it actually works at all, but apparently some reviews say it will work with a thumb drive or portable hard drive. Who listens to music off of a portable hard drive?!?

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.

Yes it can play mp3s. However, buying this particular product to play mp3s would be a waste of money.

Yes, I have used the rear USB port to play MP3 files and display will show file names. Very cool feature making the unit more useful.

Yes I connected an sd card with MP3's through the usb and tested it with an MD player on the aux and both worked. I'm using a Pioneer radio....remember the cable is only an extension cable and the head unit needs to be able to connect to whatever is attached to the cable.

I don't think so because the device requires a disk. It will play mp3 files but you can't download directly to the player.

yes it will play a USB stick as long as you have the USB adapter cord. I also play an apple I pod thru it and an simple MP3 player.
