Will it auto start playback of MP3 once power is off and comes back on? Or do you have to manually press play?

It starts right where it left off after either pulling the plug or using the button. At least mine does while playing from a USB stick.

Yes, mine has been running for a year or two now with several power outages; restarts automatically.

Yes it will turn off to a "standby" mode after disuse, and then turn on again when airplay request to play. Note that if left indefinitely under battery power only, the battery will eventually run down and it won't be able to turn on when airplay sends request.

It will connect automatically , but it won't start playing . You have to hit play either on the screen or on your device. The player will put the song on pause when you turn off the car and unless it's playing when you connect it you have to unpause it.

No this device once being charge it can play music for long periods of time before it needs to plugin again, you only need to plug for it can start and then unplugged

You would have to stop/start your Mp3 player. The SainSonic doesn't control it.

If you mean when you turn off the player, yes, however you have a 4 hr. battery so just pause it and go back later. Oh, and the fast forward works really well (fast!) so you have that option also. Hope I answered your question.

Yes it automatically starts playing once you have inserted the SD card. It's a very easy device to use. Highly recommended.

Hi,The play button acts as an on/off button. All you need to do is hold it down. We love this thing! and the sound quality is great!

I have and iPhone 5s and if I have music playing it will automatically switch to playing through this device when I turn my car on. When I turn my car off, the music is paused (although this takes a few seconds). If I'm not already playing something on my phone when I turn my car on, it will not start playing anything on its own. For example, it won't remember where I was last time I was in the car and automatically resume playing.

Yes, it gives you a choice - "resume playback yes / no". This happened to us even after powering off the device.

Honestly never tried it. It does work GREAT when manually started. Need to transfer the file to a PC or MP3 player and it sounds FANTASTIC!

When it is on, and paired and connected, it plays. There is no pause. To pause, you have to turn off the power.

In USB mode, it is capable of loop. Even if you turn it off, the audio file will continue to play as soon as you switched it on.

I have the GoGEAR RAGA model. It will pick up on the song that you were playing when you powered off, it comes up paused until you press play to resume. I usually use the folder view to go through my music since the RAGA doesn't support play lists, in case you didn't know that.

if you mean will it shut-off after a period of non-use, then yes, but only if nothing is playing. If it is play mode, it will continue through your playlist until it reaches the end of it, and then it will shut-off after a few minutes of inactivity.

There is a pause/play button on the Gigabeat. My friend has a brand new Ipod mp3 and video and hers will pause automatically if the earphones become unplugged.

I've had success pulling the power plug, counting to ten, and re-plugging. That it loses functionality seemingly at random and within a few weeks of purchase doesn't say much for the player. Has anyone else noticed how loud it is? That seems impossible to fix, a permanent annoyance.
