Every mp3 player works in the car. Where is the point of the question? If you have a radio with the Cassette, simply buy a cassette adapter, and with 5 dollars you can listen your mp3 player in through yor autoradio. If you have an AUX port in your radio, buy a cord with two males connectors ( probably 3 dollars and radioshack ) and voila' ... you can listen your music in your car. Isn't that simple?

Go to www(dot)anythingbutipod(dot)com for solutions that don't include Apple's proprietary garbage...(change (dot) to regular "." - amazon doesn't allow placing links in here)

Just like any other MP3 player - all I did was upload music I had already dowloaded onto my destop. I never download direct to the player from a site. I like to check that the download works properly first on my desktop before saving it over. Hope that helps.

I don't know if it is different but pay $10 more and get sansa mp3 player. This thing will die in a few days ... You will waste your money :(

I drive a 2011 Honda CR-V and so far haven't been able to find a model that will work in it. I have the 5th generation Shuffle and when I tried to plug it in was told that my vehicle didn't support the format. I know this hasn't been much help as I'm not sure what year model car you drive. I'm assuming that my car would need a much older model iPod since none of the three MP3 players I've tried have worked. I hope you find something that works for you!

I have not used the sd card in the speaker but I have used a usb (thumb drive). The speaker plays them in order. There is not a shuffle option. We bought this speaker for my son who is serving a church mission in Colombia. He emailed from Colombia talking about a speaker that could play songs from a usb or sd card. I had never heard of it. The $8 usb and $12 speaker was so much less than an ipod...about $200 cheaper. I put over 500 songs on the usb. It is a great option being able to use a usb or sd card. I was so happy to find this on Amazon.com. Don't know why we don't have these in the states. This one shipped from China.

Are you asking if it reads mp3 songs? Yes, it does. My songs on the ipod are in mp3 format, you can even watch a movie on netflix on your ipod/iphone and use it as a speaker. On the back it has a link to connect other types of mp3 players but unlike the ipod/iphone it won't be able to charge them.

Hi,I'm sorry, I am not familiar with imesh but you can definitely download songs from Amazon. There are a number of free sites too (such as mp3skull) but I cannot vouch for their legality. Sites like that also tend to contain hidden viruses so be careful if you choose to do that. As for the MP3 player itself, I've not had any issues with my music or playing anything downloaded from these sites. As long as it is mp3 format, I guess it is fine!Rgds,Rich

There are many different answers to your question. First I would ask is this a once a year thing or is this something you want to do all the time. Either way this is not the way to go. If only for a couple of times a year I would go with a MP3 player pluged into a guitar amp with a heavy duty power converter for the amp. If you are looking at doing this a lot look into an amp from your car radio to exterior mounted pa speakers. The pa speakers you want to look for will come pre wired and hook directly to a amp much like a subwoofer.

I would buy a normal cassette player rather than this one. There are several inexpensive ones that have a built in speaker or headphone plug. I would only get this one if you are trying to convert your cassette tapes to mp3 files.

Unfortunately, this is my biggest gripe about all MP3 players - PROGRAMABILITY! The only way you're going to be able to play the way you want is to build playlists on your computer and then select random play. Or you can use the bookmark feature directly on the Gigabeat and have it randomly play. There is no way to play just an artist or genre folder randomly.

I've used it to play audiobooks borrowed from the library using the Overdrive application: https://www.overdrive.com/Only works on the mp3 books and you have to use the application to loads them onto the player.

I've discovered that this player can play the MicroSD cards (yes, the itty-bitty ones) using an SD adapter. I purchased three 4-gig Micro SD cards at Target (Dane-Elec, $10 each). Using the supplied SD adapters in the card slot, the TF-DVD7377 read two of them OK (yes, I did remember to put video and audio files on them), but one did not (the LCD screen message read "No Playable File"). However, I took the one that didn't read and stuck it in a USB card reader and the Coby player was able to access it. I'm thinking it may have been an issue with the SD adapter card in that case (the tiny USB adapters that came with the MicroSD cards are utterly worthless).

It all depends on the features you are looking for. I just needed a mp3 player to play music in my car and when I'm traveling. So I was not interested in a 'smart' mp3 player, which are more expensive. The Ipod Nano is more expensive than the Sony walkman, but the Sony walkman had the basic features I was looking for.

Hi Larry - I am also looking for mp3 player for audiobooks from NetLibrary - Do you know if Sansa has bookmarking feature? How did you narrow your choices to Sansa? Thanks for your help. Willow

thanks for the reply.. I ended up buying the sansa shaker mp3 player (I liked the idea of having a speaker option), for my 8 yr old niece this Christmas. I wish I didn't. It seems that if you have a Mac, and buy music on iTunes you, can't transfer it to an mp3 player, unless it is an iPod. ITunes music is in AAC format... you can't change it mp3 format. Mac apparently says that the sound quality is better.. I'm not so sure, and I am definitely disappointed that Mac doesn't at least give you the option. I'll just continue to let her use my old 2nd generation iPod.
