I'm sure this is a dumb question, but can I connect this player to my stereo system via USB cable, and use it as an MP3 souce with shuffle play?

I think this may be possible however mine did not get much use and stopped working just after the guarantee ran out so I would not buy another Sans Clip.

I have done this, but it doesn't shuffle, it just plays by the song list alphabetically.

No. There is a headphone jack. I'm not sure how it would work if you got a heaphone-to-RCA adapter cable and connected the RCA side to a stereo. There is a headphone-level *input* to play your MP3 over this radio's speaker.

You can connect it to any USB port and will charge while playing. You can also play through external amplified speakers. I hope it helps.

yes you would be able to it can be connected via usb and used as a mass storage device or connected via aux. the black port on the rear for ipod cable can also be used as an aux. however personal reccomendation will be an ipod it uses artist and all the interfaces that the ipod gives you while with usb youll get folders and it will be in folders how you place them on mp3 players via aux you will not be able to change the track via the stereo.

I don't think you can, it doesn't have the right ports for that hookup, the only way to play music on this device is to have a CD player, or any kind of MP3 player

Hello Mergo, thank you for your interest in Magnasonic. Yes you can play MP3's from disc, sd card and USB 1. & 2.0 flash drives.

Yes, you can.If you have an AUX jack in your stereo, you can use a 3.5 double male cable to jam in your car. (any radio shack)It sounds great with this player, btw.Many new cars come stocked with the mp3player aux jack.

This player doesn't support shuffle and iTunes sync you have to covert iTunes to mp3. With Itunes you rent your music and it is protected. I believe that it will only work with non-protected music files, hence the MP3. I would suggest using a free iTunes to MP3 converter like Koyote or Fre:ac. This will solve your problem.

My car doesn't have USB port but it would likely work. I can play files using Clip through my computer. If you are going to play it through car system I hope to God your using FLAC and not MP3 files.

Actually, I had not tried it. I use the 3.5mm input. So I tried a generic MP3 player, an iPod Classic, and a USB stick that I dumped some songs onto. Not only does it not auto-play when turned on, I can't get it to play at all! The LED next to the USB port blinks as if it's playing, and stops blinking when you hit pause, but no sound ever happens. Not good. I don't need that feature at all, but I suggest this is probably not going to do what you need. It's a decent enough amp in all other ways - I use it to play my iPod (analog out) in my work shop and it's fine for that. But I'd avoid this amp for anything fancy like you're asking.

Yes you sure can... I do it all the time.. Just need a get a 1/8 to XLR cable and you'll be good to go. With that cable, you can also use and any Ipod or mp3 player. Not expensive at all!! cable cost about $15.00

You can scroll through the songs, but there is no shuffle feature. What I sometimes do is create a folder with various songs I like and load it onto the player. That's as close to a shuffle as you can get with this unit.

Yes, just like any USB. You can play from your phone through bluetooth also. This unit has awesome sound for its size.

If your phone or mp3 player has Bluetooth, it will play through this stereo. That is what I do. I do have another mp3 player that doesn't have Bluetooth and I use a cord that has a 3.5mm connector on one end and RCA connectors on the other end. I found my cord at Radio Shack. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

If they are CDs or on a flash drive, you should be able to. I returned my player because the the cable connection was loose and I had to hold it in to use. Too bad, because the idea of combining an MP3 with a CD player is good.
