No, sorry. this system does not have an auxiliary port that one could connect a laptop to unfortunately. I actually wish I had known this before purchasing it in college.

The only way to play your music would be with a AUX connection. USB will not work with iPhone or iPod. I wasn't happy about it.

It as USB input, an older version iPod port. The only way I have been able to connect laptop, PC or iPad/newer version iphone or iPod is to use an AUDIO "Y" cable connected to headphone/speaker port on PC or other devices to R / L audio ports on back of Sony stereo. It works for me hope it suits your needs as well.

Yes you can. Remember that its not a docking station, need to connect with blutooth or cable. Just set up and have plyed music via blutooth from i-phone and laptop and via cable from i-pod classic. Great sound and easy to use.

no...your computer can be off...the dock only plays music from an inserted ipod/iphone/itouch

Hi!I have an android phone. I literally just opened up my music and Pandora app and it played. I just plugged the cord into the headphone spot!

If you put the music on a memory card then put it into a device like a phone, tablet, etc. you can listen to the music from the device.

This is on thing I've been having trouble with myself. I have the receiver connected to my home theater system and wanted to play audio from my laptop. I can connect to the receiver with my laptop's Bluetooth, but I haven't been able to get Windows to play sound through It as it doesn't show in audio devices. . I'm using Windows 7 and haven't been able to find any software in the hour I spent searching about it.

I don't own a Touch, but my understanding is if you music is loaded on a USB drive, you can plug it directly into the Touch and no computer is required. Of course, if your music library is on a computer the computer needs to be on to access your music.Feel free to slam me if this is incorrect. :) Take a thread "USB Drive Connectivity" for more info.Interface does not fail again.

If you want ot use as a computer speaker, as Brian said, Get a 1/8" male to male audio cable and hook one end to the laptop/PC's headphone or audio jack to the AUX of the speaker. Problem solved. Using USB may work, but I'd think of other options first, as the USB port on this device sends voltage out, as well as the USB port on your computer would, thats like pluging an outlet into an outlet....could have disastrous results..... Come "next door" if you have any other questions.

You can hook it up to a laptop but NOT directly. Gotta get a special wire that connects to a laptop to a radio/amplifier that connects to the speakers

Sorry, not sure I understand your question. You don't need a laptop to run this machine. You can have your tracks on a USB stick or use the Rekordbox app on iDevices to wirelessly play tracks on your iPhone or ipad. Was that your question?

I have a Galaxy S3, and have been wondering the same thing. I've searched a lot for the same info. As far as I know there aren't any units that are android friendly. Most are compatible with Iphone. You should still be able to stream music, or play music from the phone through the unit using an aux or usb connection. I just don't think it will show any artist info on screen.

I use mine to play itunes from my computer and my ipod (which is a really old 2gig nano but still going strong, just getting full). My son bluetooths it with his Iphone5. You can't transfer music to it or charge electonics from it as it is a speaker only. Can play audio via bluetooth or the 3mm speaker plug. If the device can connect via either of these methods, you're good to go. Runs for 7 hours on a single charge.

You don't need an audio interface on your laptop, its as simple as plug in go. You can just play right fromyour itunes.

You can't. This is a receiving device. I plug it into my analog stereo system and can play music streamed via Bluetooth from my laptop, iPhone, or my tablet.
