What types of portable players are supported with the USB input? Is it "ipod only", or other ones? Android? What determines what is compatible?

The USB input of the RR2150 is meant for PC and Mac interfaces only; this is because the source device will need to download the appropriate drivers. If you wished to use a different source device such as an iPod, the RR2150 offers an auxiliary stereo 3.5mm input as well.

I only used my iPod and my cell phone. Other external hds im not sure. Im assuming it has to have a player to actually play the files. I have since gotten rid of this due to having a different car, so I wouldn't be able to test on my own.

Haven't used the usb yet but check the compatible formats on the receiver versus the format of the files on your ipod. I am aware that it is supposed to support usb drive activity i.e reading files but I would consult the manual or contact technical support for further information.

As far as I know it should play mp3. I have only ran into a problem when I used a non-ipod device for portable player. There are many free programs available that will convert the different types of MP formats.

This player uses mini usb on the player side and standard usb on the computer connection side. Beware of these players. We had lots of problems.

I have used several Flash based music systems via the USB port and they worked fine - not sure if Apple is supported though.

Argh....I read your question wrong for my previous answer. Having a USB port is the key. If your tablet has it then I believe you can transfer music to the player. You charge the player using the UBC port, too.

I'm waiting for a 128gb flash player that SOUNDS good, and can be loaded with a standard usb cable, and not requiring some proprietary software (read itunes). I test drove a 64gb ipod touch when it first came out, because my 16gb cowon iaudio7 is too small, but it sounded terrible, admittedly it was a stock set of tunes ripped at a low bit rate, but when I wanted to load up my own max bit rate tunes to it, the geniuses at the apple store couldn't fathom why someone would want to listen to tunes they'd ripped themselves, or how to make it happen. Hopefully someone raises the bar on storage space and sound quality, neither of which should be hard at this point. I wish someone would swing for the fences and do a flash 256gb player. I have to admit, I'm anachronistic, in that I don't want internet access, apps, videos, etc. just a gigantic music player that's not disk based (use it on a motorcycle, drop it constantly on the commute), that sounds fantastic and has great battery life. The more things a device does, the performance of each of those things suffers.

While this post is really old, I'll respond in case anyone else is wondering. This player works with any OS. All you do is copy MP3 files to the SD card and put the SD card into the player.

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

Depends on if the player can play content from the connected USB device. Do a simple test on any thumb drive you have. Load a file or two on it and plug it in.You can also check the player "Supported" file types. It should really specify if it can (or cannot) play USB content...This drive is generic, the effect would be the same on any USB storage device. If your Sony player can't play USB content it does not matter WHAT device you got, it is not going to play... Best of luck! Also mention what model player you have (or want to get) someone might know specific to that device (they are all different). I have a Sony player and could not tell you if it does (or does not) play from the USB connection (never tried) Depends on if the player can play content from the connected USB device.

I'm in the market for a good portable unit for my fourth generation iPod Touch. I found these reviews/comparisons very helpful, except that I still haven't seen an answer to the compatibility question.J. Hansen

Hi, USB only for UPS memory stick and if you want to play ipod or phone use AUX return. Thanks

Glenn ours is in a second home in the UK so I can't simply look but from memory it has it's own special scheme in which to hook up an iPod, certainly it doesn't have a USB input but maybe a dock. Hmmm, have a look at it's owners manual online, I found it easily once. Good Luck

I don't know about any mp3 player. I have a 3rd gen. iPod touch and it works well with it.

No. And, I can't get mine to play ANY mp3 on sd card or usb stick. May be operator error, a fluke or whatever - but now it's my fluke :-(.
