Will this unit play music pre-stored on a 'USB' storage device ? i.e. , as a 'stand-alone' ?

Not sure. Haven't try it yet. However, it plays very good using the audio input. But, that's a good idea, I will try it out.

Quoting from the Klipsch Gallery G-17 Air manual: ...is designed to play your music: b) connected to the rear-mounted USB input, most 30-pin iPods, iPhones, or iPods. I'm not sure if this would include just a USB flash drive, for example. We've only used it with our WIFI system. Here's a customer service number you might try calling to ask your question: 1-800-KLIPSCH

I haven't tried that, but I don't think that it will. I think it only plays with Apple (AirPlay enabled) devices. I tried connecting my Android phone via USB and the phone couldn't interpret what to do with the speaker. I'm sure I could connect my Android phone via the audio aux input without issue though.

Aside from its obvious role as an AirPlay speaker, the G-17 Air does offer both a USB and 1/8-inch input on the back of the unit. http://www.digitaltrends.com/wireless-speaker-reviews/klipsch-gallery-g-17-air-review/#ixzz2ehUGkip8

Yes; I put music on it like I was putting files onto a thumb drive (from a PC USB port). Once your music files have been loaded, the (supplied) USB connector (which is USB on one end and 3.5 mm headphone connector on the other) is unplugged, and the headphone is plugged in instead. The main thing I'm not 100% happy about is the touch controls (for volume, pause/play and FFW/RWD) sometimes activate when I didn't intend, and other times have to be repeatedly tapped before working.

This is not a stand alone unit. If you can connect the audio cables from this unit into a receiver then it will play through your speakers. You cannot connect speakers to this and have it play music, it is not a power (amplifier).

It does have a USB port for playing media from a USB drive, but both units died before I got to try it.

Sorry, but the cited Onkyo unit does NOT appear to be able to read USB/Thumb Drive storage. I was specifically looking for this function when I purchased the Yamaha. The Yamaha was the *Only* CD player that had the ability to read audio (either MP3 or WAV) files from a USB drive that was available (in its price range or below) at Amazon. The sound quality of the Onkyo unit was therefore not even an issue since it would not read all the media types I wanted to play. The Yamaha conveniently supports this function without fuss, as others have observed.

I loaded MP3s onto a USB, but the device refuses to recognize the files or play them.

Yes, it has a usb port and will play mp3's loaded onto a thumb drive. It does get confused at times though and must be re-booted to play everything. Good price tho.

Yes, it will play .wav files from either the internal storage or the microsd card.

Yes and no depending on the specifics of your question that I'm lacking. It can play a "burned" CD-R. If you are referring to playing music off a CD-R that is in data only format, it cannot. There is no USB port on this system. Hope this helps.

Yes you can play with thumb usb drivethus, it supports DLNA music play and AirPlay.

The usb slot is only for connecting usb flash drives to the unit. If the USB flash drive has media that can be read; i.e., a standard dvd structure, mpeg4s, mp3s, cds, or jpegs then the unit will play the media. Here is a link to the user's manual for more information: http://s3.amazonaws.com/szmanuals/11333ba7d45d5f0d5256a1e945fa457b

This is a data storage device. You can store music on it and plug it into other music devices that have a usb port to play the music back.

So you can have an external drive? I don't see why not. There is a mini USB port on the player. It will play mp4's sequentially, the same with pics and music. It may have plug and play capabilities... TommyD

It's not possible to play directly through external HDD. You can play music only through flash memory card(sold separately)
