I am not able to get the player to read the flash drive. when I hold down the menu it ether goes to the radio or to line. no flash option?

I am not sure if my answer will help you, but I once had some problems with selections with the menu, I solved the problem by simply recharging the device fully.

Mine goes straight to usb stick or to micro sd when I turn it on so you should not have to press menu- otherwise menu should cycle through all the options including the memory stick or card. It should say "read" when it sees it. Make sure it is fully charged and maybe even plugged in when attempting to read. Also maybe try a small drive with only a few songs at first just to make sure it's working. If none of that works you may have to return it.

Sorry dave, but mine works just fine. maybe you need te format your sc card. and have all songs in the root, not in maps. hope it helps

turn unit on by the side switch and just plug in the flash drive if there is music on it it will play. There is no flash on manue.

no, I am amazed how different flash drives make difference. never heard back from sangean customer service. it is cheap radio, cheap usb...not worth the time, trouble I put into trying to figure out. I would avoid this radio...some sandisk flash ok, adapter other flashes seem to work. still radio bad idea.

I found this online and thought of our previous discussion. Figured that I'd pass it along to ya... "Player can be put in UMS/MSC mode via a startup hack: Let it boot up up, put the hold switch on. Hold down the left side of the scroll wheel and plug the usb cable in at the same time. Keep holding it until a drive appears."

Sorry to hear about the not rewinding or fast forwarding. We did notice a slightly longer delay while holding down the switch to get this feature working, (compared to other types of MP3 players) but only by an extra second or two while the song is playing. I hope yours is still under warranty and SanDisk will honor their product.

the flash drive was bad. after many tries and call a guy got on the phone who was very helpful and at the end sent me a new flashdrive already program. I have not had a problem after that

I have the same problem with a different model of the SanDisk player. I was never able to solve it. However I found a workaround: If I take it to my wife's computer it works fine there and I can download the complete playlists. I don't know what this means but it has something to do with my old clunker of a computer I guess. My wife's is much newer and has more RAM, so that may be a factor.

I haven't tried a flash drive as of today. The IPOD to USB doesn't work but will with the RCA to IPOD adapter.

Menu functions don't work for me either. I get volume, start-stop, and track jump forward & back. I'm using an original Mini, with 32 GB Compact Flash drive, and an older 60 GB classic style, from before they called it the 'Classic'. Perhaps it works with the newer models.

Make sure the music is in mp3 format, plug the flash drive into the USB rat tail and turn the player on.

I had the same exact issue. Everything else with this player has worked flawlessly for me so far. I called Icom's customer service number regarding this. The woman who answered (operator/receptionist) and the man she put me through to (tech guy) were both impatient. They spoke very quickly and sounded frustrated, like they had better things to do. Or as if they thought I was mentally challenged; or speaking in a foreign language. I thought they were a little rude. Anyway, I mentioned as quickly as possible that the USB played Mp3's perfectly fine, but when I tried playing video Mp4 clips, video would show up but no audio. I tried every audio setting imaginable, but still no luck. The tech guy looked into it and after a brief moment came back and said that the mp4 playback doesn't include/allow audio. I told him I thought that was strange and thanked him for his time. So supposedly we cannot get audio with mp4 videos through the USB on this particular player. I tried Jodi Waxman's (other poster who left comment on OP's question) vague advice and came up with nothing. I looked over the manual several times and tried all the audio settings (on the player itself as well as my receiver)... nothing. If someone that reads this had the same issue and can say they get audio with their mp4 video files, I would love to know what they did to get it to work.

I fixed mine by using a computer with an internal disc drive to transfer the driver files from the installation disc to a USB and re-installed the drivers for the external player from the USB. You could also try to download the drivers from ASUS, but I had no luck with that. Hope this helps

Sorry, I have used the player just a couple of times and think it starts where I stopped it. Not tech savvy enough to experiment either .And then remember what I did !

I am still having difficulties with the USB Cassette working. I thought it was me, but a friend that is really savy in recording said that the USB Cassette is stopping during play back. Now I will need to find how to get a replacement. Waited a long time for this one to arrive only to find out it is partially inoperative.

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

Mine works okay though the sound quality isn't very good. I had trouble with a flash drive that developed the problem of not being recognized by any of my computers. Found no remedy for it and the company would not replace it. Disgusting turn of affairs. Hope you have better luck. F. Burton

I had trouble getting mine to go too but opened door and made sure all the cd 's were in right and found out you have to push the "play" button down on the bottom , then it worked. I may have just got lucky. I still do not have the radio set up though.
