Easy, just get a head phone jack to RCA cable. Amazon carries them, as do most local retailers. they are usually <$8.00 or so, and you just plug it into your headphone out jack and the other end has two plugs that go into the aux inputs on your home stereo. Turn the audio out up to 22-25, and adjust your stereo volume and you're there.

Every mp3 player works in the car. Where is the point of the question? If you have a radio with the Cassette, simply buy a cassette adapter, and with 5 dollars you can listen your mp3 player in through yor autoradio. If you have an AUX port in your radio, buy a cord with two males connectors ( probably 3 dollars and radioshack ) and voila' ... you can listen your music in your car. Isn't that simple?

I'm not sure what your question is. Are you asking if it can play CDs you recorded yourself? or are you asking if it can play an mp3 file? I didn't try to play a home made cd as the sound was lousy from the speakers, and as others mentioned, when a new CD was loaded the noise was so loud that I couldn't stand it. returned it immediately.

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.

You can play audio files from the SD card but the player will not remember where you were and will not let you create playlists. Not good.

The unit has a usb cable that comes off the back. The cable is about a meter long so you can allow it to hang out to a place you can access easily. Just plug in your usb drive to the cable and select source USB. If you have mp3 files in the root of the drive the radio will play them.

Unfortunately, this is my biggest gripe about all MP3 players - PROGRAMABILITY! The only way you're going to be able to play the way you want is to build playlists on your computer and then select random play. Or you can use the bookmark feature directly on the Gigabeat and have it randomly play. There is no way to play just an artist or genre folder randomly.

Not really. We tried to play several CDs with MP3 files on this product. It tried to read the CDs but could not read anything. So the product we received either was defective, or the product was not design to play MP3. We returned it a few days later.

You just copy your music files straight onto the plyer as if it is another storage device. If you have the external memory card installed, you will see it displayed separately from the internal memory. Just copy the files to where do you want them to be. Then just go through the player interface to play those files.

Cds will play on this. I have several CDs made from vinyl records that play just fine. Not totally sure about an mp3 CD, I don't have any and have never tried any of those in this player. Most CD players made nowadays do play mp3 CDs but that doesn't mean this one will. Sorry I'm not sure on the mp3 CDs.

Sorry David, We do not use MP3 player. We only use CD's. The CD player exceeds our expectations. Bob D.

Dear Gene, I don't have an MP3 CD that I can try and play to answer your question. The Sony box says it has CD-R/RW playback capability, but there is no mention of MP3 anywhere, so I am pretty sure it does not.Katia

You may have to switch to a mode that turns all of the speakers on. I think the "Pro Logic" button on the remote will do this. But I haven't used the system with an MP3 player. That's something I've observed with my home theater system.

The radio has a 3.5 mm jack that would allow other MP3 players to play through the clock radio. However be mindful this connection is an "output" type only connection and won't charge your MP3 player. Basically all you're doing is plugging your headphones into the radio using a 3.5mm male/male cable.

Yes the player will play MP3, it will play AVI depending on which codec is used. I have used the player to play AVI using the Divx codec.

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