Suppose you have 5 mp3 files in the USB memory stick, is it easy to pick the one you want to play?

Great question, I have not used that feature on this product. I only use it for a charity 5K run we hold every year. For a megaphone, it works great, that is all I can help you with.

What is easy for some is not for others. I make a list of the order they are in. By listening to the first one and then clicking the correct number of times I get the one that I want. Normally, it will start with the last one played. So far I have had good results with this.

Yes you can. All mp3 playes when connected to a computer act just as a USB flash memory.

Yes you can. You plug with a normal USB cord to a computer and it becomes a new removable disk. Directories are playlists and you can copy your mp3 files into it.

i have a older mp3 and it has a shuffle option and that's great but it plays the songs in the same shuffle order every time. sounds funny I have 900 songs in mine but have listened to it for so long I can almost tell u what song is coming on next!

If you don't need that much specificity and just want to create a "favorites" list, you can enable "advanced" mode in settings and just press and hold the select button to select songs.http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20/kw/m200*/r_id/101834

This USB in particular is 16 GB in size, this will typically hold around 5,000 songs. Assuming that each song has a bit-rate of 128 kbps and lasts 3:30 minutes.Keep in mind that this is a USB Flash drive, not an mp3 player. This device will only work for storing your music (or any type of data). Picture it as a portable hard drive.

I'm not an expert at this but I do not have any problem storing my MP3 files so they can be played in my Onkyo Audio & Video Receiver. So far, no songs have been skipped when it was played. When I did copy and paste those files into the flash drive, it's pretty fast. I don't know if this is the answer you are looking for. I like the flash drive - good enough for my use.

Yes. I copied music files from my comp into the Mp3 player, using usb connection.

This unit plays files and folders in the order of creation in SD card. In other words, if you want to play several files in an order, you need to copy them into SD card in the intended order.For example if you have 5 files and you want to play them in the order of 1 thru 5.You need to copy file 1 into SD card first, and then file 2 into card and then file 3 and then 4 and 5.As Paul said in the previous post, when you select multiple files and folders you will never know which file/folder copied into SD card first so the only way to make an intended sort is making it manually one by one.ArthurSatechi Technical Support This unit plays files and folders in the order of creation in SD card.

I tried a thumbdrive with .mp3 files and it plays sequentially. I have not tried the SD port nor any other music file formats.

Yes, there is a random button. I have some 267 songs on an SD card and just press the random button.

I have a 32 GB flash drive plugged into mine & I control everything from the unit itself. It just has to be set on source "USB". I've also had a 64 GB flash drive in it with NO problem. I've been using it like that for over 2 years. I've never tried it with an mp3 player as I can get everything I need from the flash drive!!!

Dear sir or madam, This player can only play in order according to the order in your flash drive. Hope you can understand. Best regards

You can fast forward, shuffle, repeat all that. The downside to this player is moving through folders. I have my music organized my artist & album making 88 folders filled with mp3 files. There's no quick way to get through the folders; such as going from folder 40 to 80. Also the screen shows no data on the files or folders.

Yes. However, just like trying to tune in an FM station (which when figured out how to do, is very responsive) you have to tinker a little to pick out songs you might have saved on a flash drive.

All USB-A thumb drives have worked. Make sure they are formatted as FAT (mine are FAT32). Put one MP3 file on the drive, plug the drive into the box, switch the box input to USB and it should start playing automatically after it reads the contents of the drive. If you have a lot of songs/directories on the thumb drive, it can take a long time to read it.

Yes, The Colby MP3 Player has a shuffle option where the songs will play in a random order.
