1. Will this work with Windows 7? 2. Is the player's firmware updatable? 3. Can you use the player while plugged in / charging? Is this a "retired" model and/or still supported?

Sorry Nathan, I never had a chance to try it. The player died after a few hours out of the box. I wouldn't recommend this player.

Beats me. I could not get this player to work for me. I would have sent back except cost more than worth. Sorry I can't help you

Huh! Figure! I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit. That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

If you have a windows 7 or Vista pc the computer will download the drivers and the software for the player once you plug it in, automatically. I imagine its the same with mac OS. The interface is very easy to use but most of the time I just use file explorer to drag and drop the files to the player. Happy Listening!

Hi, Just bought the drive to read old disks. Opened it out "mint condition, in box, sealed" plugged it into my USB 3.0 hub on my Windows 8.1 Machine. Plugged in a barely used zip cartridge from 10 years ago. Bam there it was.Plug and Play no problem. 15 year old "new device" with USB 1.0 port, works flawlessly on Windows 8.1 Pro via USB 3.0 Hub. I've had more issues with some USB 3.0 hard drives than this.Actually really surprised.

I haven't had that exact problem. My only suggestion is to update your player's firmware. The manual tells you how, but really you just connect the player to your internet router with a cable and turn it on. It updates itself and when it's done you can remove the cable. I believe some of the newer disks have new "features" that can confuse the older firmware.

I tried to play a USB with mine. I used a 8gb flash drive and tried to play a 1.6gb mp4 file and a 756mb mp4 file. Each time it said the file type was unsupported.

I don't know, I returned the player, because it was not what I expected it to be. Read the service manual, it should give you details.

Windows Media Player is the true weird player. It is not the standard, and you're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. Also, for your information, something 'playing by default in WMP' is controlled simply by the set of DirectShow codecs installed on the system - it has nothing to do with the player itself. So in 20 years, you'll still have to have the correct codecs installed, regardless of the player you decide to use. And in 20 years, if you still use WMP, something must have been very wrong with the world leading up to that. Codecs will be a thing of the past and video files (if we even still have a concept of files) will include their own coding embedded within them because storage and bandwidth limitations have disappeared. VLC is the player of choice for me currently, as it uses a set of libraries that can play literally anything, and is constantly evolving, unlike WMP. Don't trust proprietary formats and players - they won't last anyway.

Depends on if the player can play content from the connected USB device. Do a simple test on any thumb drive you have. Load a file or two on it and plug it in.You can also check the player "Supported" file types. It should really specify if it can (or cannot) play USB content...This drive is generic, the effect would be the same on any USB storage device. If your Sony player can't play USB content it does not matter WHAT device you got, it is not going to play... Best of luck! Also mention what model player you have (or want to get) someone might know specific to that device (they are all different). I have a Sony player and could not tell you if it does (or does not) play from the USB connection (never tried) Depends on if the player can play content from the connected USB device.

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.

Hi Karen, I contacted Toshiba a couple of days ago...THEY don't even know about the specifications on this player. Sorry, tried to help.

I've had success pulling the power plug, counting to ten, and re-plugging. That it loses functionality seemingly at random and within a few weeks of purchase doesn't say much for the player. Has anyone else noticed how loud it is? That seems impossible to fix, a permanent annoyance.

This player uses mini usb on the player side and standard usb on the computer connection side. Beware of these players. We had lots of problems.
