How loud does this player play? I have 2 small speakers to plug into boombox for ipod

It plays quite loud for it's size. The fidelity is amazing given the tiny speaker. My only gripe is the controls are very awkward to use and don't make sense. The instructions that come with it are extremely poor (in my opinion). Aside from that, if you can find a station you like, it sounds quite remarkable.

It plays so loud that you would think you had very, very large speakers. You will not be disappointed.

The sound out of this player is far better than you would expect from it's size. I used it while working in the garage and it had adequate volume and quality. When I am near it, I run the volume at about 50%.

It won't fill a room with music but as a personal listening device it works fine.

As far as I know it should play mp3. I have only ran into a problem when I used a non-ipod device for portable player. There are many free programs available that will convert the different types of MP formats.

I have only used MP3 disks that play like normal CDs. The Sony literature that came with the Boombox says that the audio plug uses a stero minijack with an imput minimum of 245 mV. Bob Benson

I'm happy this player's volume. I have both an IPad and IPhone. I use this player for both.

Ours stopped working correctly in the first month we had it. My son uses it as speakers only...turns up volume through his ipod.

It is all you can play...I am a biologist and get more volume from this and don't have to carry around Ipod speakers. It fits in a shirt pocket.

It plays AM/FM and Weather Bands - it has no input. I've used the earphone jack for a speaker for output- sounds pretty good. Lastly You could get a fm transmitter for the ipod and set the fm frequency on the radio.

I love my music loud as well. I have my iPhone volume up to about halfway between the middle and the loudest and you can't hear anything besides the music. No outer interference or anything. It's like you're in your own little world of music. Bass is pretty good as well in my opinion.

I had bad luck with this player but only because it was not loud enough for a gymnasium. Kept it to be used at home and my husband uses it with his Iphone music. My first check would be to see if it has more trouble with burned CD's than others- if you can't send back, try putting something like a heavy book on top to see if that would work at all. Sounds like a lemon :(

We have been able to hook up any type of Ipod or mp3 player no problem. There is a universal speaker plug attached. The specs should give more detailed info. The sound is veryclear and loud for such a small speaker.

Yes it has volume control on the player itself. As long as there is no other noise, it's loud enough. Any other background noise, it's not loud enough.

can you be more specific? sounds silly but did you turn the volume up? My son has 1 & it plays very well. He said it might be defective. You can return it to amazon and they will send you another. Lora K. Masso

It can be played but it is barely audible. I sent mine back because of that. Good question.

are you using a connecting cable 3.5mm with two out put ends to plug into your aux imput on the back of your receiver? if you really want hi-end playback, get a nuforce dac and use this type of cable or a single 3.5mm connecting cable from mp3 player to a receiver or intergrated amp and the sound quality will blow you away, happy listening:)

Can't say for sure how long the 2 different songs play but it is just seconds. When it's being driven you can't hear them anyway! Not sure if yours is defective. Our grandson loves it and he was 2 1/2 when we gave it to him and he is now just over 4!

My experience is that it will play adequately. I use it all the time. But I do believe the Fuse is not charging at the same time, and it will run down. MY Fuse does not 'dock' properly into the little shelf, but I was told I could plug my mp3 into speaker with a very short cord that I think came with it. Can't remember, but I bring the cord underneath and the player lays on its side in that little front tray. Works ok.

Mine just stops getting louder. I have found headphone quality can make loudness vary with this player. I was surprised to hear how much louder mine got with different headphones.
