I think I saw this answer but just want to be sure. I have a USB flash drive loaded with music. Can this speaker play it?

I suspect so, it has a USB port although I have not tried it from flash drive. Works great from iPad music

Yes, just like any USB. You can play from your phone through bluetooth also. This unit has awesome sound for its size.

I was able to play music on a USB flash drive when running from the battery. If I plugged it in, the music would not play. However, I can play music on a MicroSD card when the speaker is plugged in or running on the battery. We use it to play calming music for our dogs when we are out of town, so being able to have the speaker play while plugged in was important. I hope that answers your question.

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

Not that I have found. I keep a flash drive with the music I want to hear. Folks have reported problems plugging in smart phones, so I keep it simple.

Haven't really used it for music, but I do play movies off of my usb flash drive. I assume you can play music the same way. In fact will try tomorrow and update response.

For iTunes music to play, you need an application to drive it. Since the USB drive doesn't have an OS, I don't see how you can do that. Personally I use an iPod instead just for this.

Yes, if you have headphones. It can also play music from a USB souce, such as a thumb drive. I am the host of Positive Amplitude on CJAM 99.1 FM Sundays 6-8 PM so I review a lot of music every week and this unit has been excellent.

No, it will read "no source found" or similar when you try and play the music files from your phone. You can only plug a flash drive into the USB port to play music that way; bit of a disappointment to me as the bluetooth is only so-so in my opinion.

Yes Joshua, you can plug-in a USB flash drive into this Sony MEXN4000BT and will play audio files. It can recognize audio files under MP3 (.mp3), WMA (.wma) and WAV (.wav) format and the folders within it. -Ely

I dont believe you can use a flashdrive, as there are no buttons to change tracks or a screen to view what song is playing. You can however use a mp3 player as long as it has a 3.5mm headphone jack and you have the same corresponding cable to plug the two devices together. Hopes this helps. Cheers

The speaker has a connection female connection for ipod cable (looks like a headphone connection). It does not have micro-sd or flash slot for playback. It is just a speaker, not a player.

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

I don't think so. I don't use it for USB but when I got your question I put one in. It just started playing. I think that on the Sangean web site there is an operating manual that you can view. It might tell you more.

Any USB works, You must load a playlist of the music you want to hear onto the thumb drive and it will play them in sequence or random I believe, It can't record to the drive just play.

I'm not sure I understand the answers. Can I plug a flash drive filled with my music into the Flip 2? My mp3 player? Thank you.
