Can you load your own music onto this? /How is it as an mp3 player?

i have bought these LeapPad's for my grand daughters for Christmas so don't really know much about them. I do believe there is a MP3 App enabling music to be downloaded along with videos etc and am told the App is very good. Sorry I cant be much more helpful. Maybe you could "Google" more info

You have to pay for and download the mp3 player app. (I think it was $5.) From there, you can transfer mp3s from your computer to the LeapPad. It works well, but it loads all of the songs into a folder called "My Music" and the songs are organized alphabetically. My son has a little trouble finding which song he wants when I add multiple albums.

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.

I use Winamp to organize all my MP3 files and playlists and I am able to drag and drop them very seamlessly to my MP3 player. It's fast and best of all FREE!

Hi Jackie, it can't play music files on .MP3 format. It can only player music files from regulard CD.s -Vincent

If you have a usb mp3 player it will not read the music files. If you copy mp3 files to a usb drive (no folders) it will play them.

NO!! Would recommend it. If you wish to have a mp3 or mp4 player just buy an cheap iPod. This isn't the way to go. My son hates it. Good thing he bought it with his money.

Yes, it does. Just connect it to your PC (via the built-in USB connector) create your sub-folders and copy your songs into them. You can create any many sub-folders as you want; just remember this rule, you won't be able to play songs in any sub-folder that is more than one level deep. For example: rootfolder/BackstreetBoys/ will work fine, just navigate to the folder and select the first song and it will begin to play. However, rootfolder/mymusic/BackstreetBoys will not work. You can load music into that folder, but the player won't play them. I avoid that problem by limiting all my sub-folders to one level deep. You can, however, create as many sub-folders as you need. Just remember this additional rule, the player will only play the first 99 songs in each folder. It can hold more than 99, but it won't recognize them. If you want more detailed information on this MP3 player, read my review. It includes a comprehensive manual.

it has an mp3player on it you have to take sd card out to load music on it and as far as netfflix I've never tried

I would think so. It should show up as a external drive(s) when plugged in and you just drag and drop or copy music to it.

Yeah, it acts just like another drive. You just drag the music files over. Very simple. Great player.

yes of course you can. On my computer I have media player. I create all my lists there and down load them to the mp3 I want. Each one is tweaked differently for what I am doing.

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.

I know that you can put the music into folders but I did not do that. I would just dump the mp3 files on to the card and use it that way.

Yes. During setup there are several options presented to you and one of the options is converting your music to mp3 file and where you want to save the files.

Yes to both questions. However, the screen is not too good & its ability to make playlists is horrible. Sound on flac & hi-rez flac is excellent, but if you want to play mostly mp3s, you're better off with an mp3 player with a better interface I wish I had waited for a better player like the upcoming PONO this Fall.

From what it seems it can not hold music on its own. It will only play if an sd/USB/aux cable is plugged into the device.

It technically has an MP3 player but it doesn't cycle through your playlist like it should. It stays on repeat until you change the song and then repeats that song aswell.
