Think I got a defective one - it keeps interuppting music every 3 seconds or so. Any idea what problem is? Like a buffering problem.

Play it safe and send it back. What is the source of the music? Is it on all tracks by all artists? I don't have any problems with mine.

I don't know. Is the earphone connection loose? I figured out that the newer ones have strange earphone jacks. YOu have to push the connector in really hard, seems like you might break it, to get it seated correctly. ON the way there, you may get sound out of only one side, or no sound. When you move, the movement of the earphone may be causing the sound to cut out. However, when it is firmly seated in the correct place, it plays correctly out of both earphones. It loosens up over time. Contact Sansa if that doesn't work. they have great customer support.

Send it back. I have music on the card and the player and haven't had an issue.

If your MP3s work properly on another device (computer, another MP3 player, etcetera), then the problem is either in the player or the SD card. If you are doing everything on the 4g internal space, it is the player. If you are using a SD card, remove the card and load some files onto the player directly to test. If this last test comes back clean, replace your SD card, otherwise the player is no-go.I had a similar problem with flash drives from Sandisk, where the read times were excessive on a 16g flashdrive. Turns out, bad drive, not problems on my computers. ALWAYS test everything, you don't want to throw away good equipment, or you don't want to find one problem and not catch a second problem down the chain.

I have had the same experience from the beginning. I contacted Pyle and they had me return it to Brooklyn (at my cost) and sent it back within a week, and the problem channel was fixed no charge. Now, however, a different channel has been cutting out in FM so this will have to go back again. At this point, the unit is about six months old. I'm happy with its performance as an amplifier, when it's working, but it's problems point to poor original workmanship.

I have this issue as well. Occasionally the speaker will start skipping (about 1/8 - 1/4 second of music goes missing, once ever 30-60 seconds) and will continue to do this. During some sessions it won't do this. I've experienced this with an iPhone 4s and various Windows Phones. This is the only Bluetooth speaker I've seen this skipping on, and I've used a lot of different Bluetooth speakers and headphones.

Mine goes in and out but it happens when music is on the Bluetooth, not the intercom. Haven't had the chance to get another one to try the intercom. Would like to though.

Well I had mine shut off for two days. when I fired it up last night it started playing back the song right in the middle where it was when I had turned it off. It always starts playback where I left off and I have owned it for a week.

That's funny you asked. Ours doesn't play any music. I must have a defective one but I'm sure that's a blessing in disguise.

Yes, Jarred I have had the same problem. I'm listening to a song and detecting minor fluctuations in the pitch of the music. Strange because the strobe indicates that the platter is rotating at a consistent speed, but there is no denying the fluctuations. Maybe the record is sliding around a bit and not making firm contact with the turntable? Not sure. Anyway it's getting annoying and I'm starting to think we got a lemon. Will be persuing this with Pyle.

I would say contact customer service but the line is perpetually down. Is the music in the correct format? Is the device showing up in "My Computer" (assuming you use Windows)? Which program are you using to sync files, if any?I would really advise you to ship it back to Amazon and get a refund because this thing is a piece of junk.

Mine seems to do the same thing. I called the number on the Instruction booklet, the person I talked to could not help but unsuccessfully tried to reach their tech support. They never called me back. I really like the player- it is just what I was looking for. I will return the unit as I also think it is defective. Cannot decide whether to ask for a replacement, or just get my money back.

Hi Caroline, This product was horrible. I have since discarded it. Maybe I just got a bad one but it wasn't worth the effort to try another one. I tryed it with a couple of radios with the same result. It would play for a minute or two then make a loud noise and cut out and did this over and over. Don

I'm having the exact problem with the unit I just bought from Amazon. I'm wondering if it's a bunch of faulty units :-/

I actually had to email Amazon, the seller wouldn't respond. I am so glad that Amazon responded right away and actually offer to replace it. I got a quote from a music repair shop and it would have cost me about $85 to fix it. Amazon shipped it right away and I got it within a few days such a great service, didnt pay a dime. So hopefully it works out for you. Sad to say but my warranty is over :(

It does this any time I pause and then try to play the music again. I have to turn of the headphones and reconnect to get the music to play correctly again. I plan on contacting customer service. If it continues I want to return it or get a replacement.

Oddly, we have the same problem. We have had our Sony for several years, granted, but it has stopped transitioning to the next CD too. I have no answers for you. If it is still under warranty apply to Sony for your answer. Good Luck!

What issues are you having? Does the unit power up? It can be tricky to find the right station to tune to. I had to switch from the default before I could hear my player.

You may have already done this but make sure the volume on the device you are playing (iPod or whatever)is at maximum level.Hope this helps.

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
