I get a "CANNOT PLAY" message when I connect my Android phone (Galaxy S2) via USB. The manual is no help. How can I get this to connect to my Android?

have an iPhone and get the same message, however outdoes play the audio of any media that is played through the browser. Also, you can download the pandora app, the unit will interface directly with pandora.Make sure your volume is up when listening to media from the browser. Even though it says of can not play, you can get the audio.If this does not work, you can connect the phone to the unit with an audio cord rather than the USB connector. The audio cord connects through the headphones.

Don't use USB , go buy an auxiliary cord and use that works alot better and no hassle when you wanna play your jams , some stereos cannot recognize smartphones and it just makes it easier to use auxiliary

I was able to use the auxiliary port to play my android phone. Regarding the USB port, I picked up a cheap mp3 player download my music and plugged it in without a problem. Hope this helps a little. Stan

Your question is not relevant This device should be contact to smartphone or player with bluetooth or strero plug. So the answer is depand on your player device and if its androied android device most of the chance that the answer is YES

where you able to get your phone to play mp3's off the micro disc card? anyone for that matter who can answer this, this would be a big help

It plays on mine with no problem! What I suggest you to do is to try playing the same stick on some other equipment such as Car USB port or just a regular computer.If it does play then its a faulty player you got but if it does not play anywhere else then the problem is with the stick it self.Does the SD card with the same MP3'S playing on this unit?

I have sometimes neeeded to re-establish the link but I have not been completely unable to do so. Reboot speakers and phone and try? Have speakers on before you start music app.

it would not connect to my Samsung, but I don't know if that's because it's Android rather than Apple, or the connection cable is not compatible - in the instruction manual it says "Not all brands of USB flash drives are supported"; and I haven't tried recording back to flash drive, but other than that this is an amazing little unit, well worth the price!

I use Google play music and it works fine. Any music that you can play through your phone where you can change tracks should work through bluetooth. I would check with the app people to see if they support bluetooth connections if you're unsure.

Unfortunately, I cannot get the USB connection to play at all. It will charge my cell phone but not play. Yes, the cd will play on battery power.

It doesn't play anything directly. If your smartphone can play Amazon music then you might be able to link it to the speakersOverall it's a piece of junk. Impossible to connect. I have all 3 models in the storage. Waste of money . Pioneer customer support blames it on the cable company, what an excuse

Turn on your player and go to the settings and change your usb mode. Then find your player(my computer) and second click and press format. Dont forget to switch your usb mode back before you try to transfer music.I hope this helps.For more info go to the ANYTHINGBUTIPOD FORUMS

Hi! I have an android phone. I literally just opened up my music and Pandora app and it played. I just plugged the cord into the headphone spot!

Hmmm...this has only happened to me one time....Try resetting the blue tooth connection with the source you are playing from---the only time it happened to me was from an iphone....android has never been a problem

Looks to me like there is no way to have the files play from the SD card by default. This is a major flaw, one of many.

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 purchased this player... it works fine, but I have put two different 64gb cards in the player and it does not seem to read the music. What type of formatting is required to match the player?

Hi; this being six years after the original discussion was started, I'm hoping for a more up-to-date answer to the same question. I've been using a microSD card in my phone to play music, but the phone is fussy about it (tends to restart when I try to start a song, and additionally has some dust in the audio jack that had me thinking that the left earbud had it out for me when the problem lay with the port). I recently got a 32 GB micro SD card, and am hoping to use that with this product. Does anybody know if it's compatible?
