Why some say it play music when it is charging and some say it doesn't play music? It suppose to play music, how do I get the one play music?

The battery charger is not a music player per se, as in an MP3 player or IPod. It does have a limited library of pre-recorded sounds (including silence) that can be selected to indicate charging status. Not a music player.

Ours does not play music: this is a small blower that charges fast. Have no idea about the one that supposedly plays music.

No its not normal you should be able to charge and listen at the same time, something's wrong with yours, you should return it.

ok it's plugged into my iPhone 6 now how do you get the speakers to turn on? I see the music is playing but nothing from the speakers. Not the best directions.

You have to select the BT Speaker on your phone and wait for them to connect. The speaker will announce "bluetooth connected" and then your ready to play your music. If the speaker doesn't announce it's connected it won't play. That's how I've noticed mines works. I have 2 of them. One for my restroom and one in the kitchen, I'm a music addict. Lol. Hope this helps!!

I also bought this item and experienced the same .My advise to you is to format the device then try putting the music on it via USB connector,IF it still doesn't work then there is a possibility that the problem is within the mp3 or USB.

I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it. So I "forgot" the speaker on my iphone. Turned the speaker off and back on and then held the "menu" button down to get it into pairing mode again and repaired the two and it started working fine. It would previously take calls and play them through the speaker, but not music. Not sure where the problem was, but it seems to be resolved.Sound quality and volume are pretty good for the money I paid. It feels like it's built sturdy and looks good. Haven't tried the aux out yet. I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it.

I only know that i need to charge it when it stops playing music, but it can be in the on or off position to charge, i prefer the off position though because it charges faster. there is no indicator for it charging however.

It's hit and miss for playing music, sometimes it plays on the docking station and sometimes it doesn't so I end up using the aux cable it comes with. The docking station never charges even if you get the music to play.

Let me ask, do you have it on the charger? Because if you do, it will not play the flash drive. Just as a suggestion, return it while you can because it is very hard to navigate your music files and then mine simply got stuck on one song and wouldn't play anything else. Needless to say, I trashed it about a month after I got it.

It does play music yeah. You probably have failed to pair it with your phone or computer. Also it likes long presses to turn it on or turn it off, just FYI.

There seems to be something wrong with how it works wrt charging and playing. I can get it to work whilst plugged in but not before it switches off- unplugging or plugging in power cord always disrupts it and means I have to restart it, but then it will work Ok still plugged in to the power.

You need to have a device- iPad, phone, etc.- that is blue tooth ready. Once you do, then you just charge the speaker and turn it on. You play the music that is on your device. The speaker is just that, only a speaker not a holder of music.

I assume that tried charging it for extended periods of time with no success? I can only assume that you have a faulty product, since I haven't run into that issue yet and it can play for several before needing to charge it.

HI, it plays both. There is a finction that turns on which every one you want to play. It serves as a charger as well. Very happy with the quaily of sound as well, for the price.

The USB does play songs. As for charging, I don't know. I haven't tried it.

Something wrong here as it works fine every day on mine. Be sure the battery is properly attached as the little clips can be tricky. Also make sure it's positioned properly for charging. Wiggle it around until you here the sound.
