Nope. The USB port is just to charge devices. I just checked the manual and tried playing some mp3s from a flashdrive.

I've looked on mine and don't see anywhere where you can use a USB drive. You may try converting to a cd and then it should play.

A:

Just tried and sadly, no. The USB port looks to be used for charging. Also plugged in my iPod, it didn't play through the speakers, but it did charge. Best guess is that you plug your phone in so it can charge as you stream via bluetooth.

Best Answer

A:

I had no problems with the volume control. It is designed differently than conventional knobs people are used to on older radios. The knob stops after a short turn, but the sound continues to get louder or softer if you hold it at it's stopping point or turn it repeatedly to its stopping point. It does respond from no sound at all to very loud.

Was this answer helpful?00

A:

It is an unusual volume control: It looks like a typical knob but it doesn't turn in the usual way. Instead, it turns only a small amount (either clockwise for volume up, or counter-clockwise for volume down). You need to turn it either way until you hear a very slight click, then watch the display for the numerical value indicating the volume level. You can turn & release the knob to go up or down by a single increment, or you can turn & hold the knob for a few seconds to start going up or down more rapidly.
