Is the playback from the microSD card intuitive using the front buttons (Play/Pause, FF and RW)? Do you simply insert a card and start playing?

I made a mistake.. when you insert the card into the slot.. U click it to mp3, not the BT like I thought.. sorry... but it will start right up.. I love it so much that I ordered another one.. :)

just insert the card and turn it to BT it should start right up.. If u press the plus and minus keys it switches to another song.. but if you HOLD down the plus and minus keys it lowers and increases volume. I don't think there is a FF and FW for it..

You put in the card and set it on mp3 from the bottom then press play and you can skip tracks

Honestly, I've never used just a micro sd card. I've always connected it with my iphone or my mp3/mp4 player. I do know however that you can control the found settings from the device connected instead if changing it by hand on the speaker. Also if you get a call in the middle of listening to the speaker that's connected to the phone, it resumes without having to hit play again. Plus, the sound bumps. It sounds like it's a much more impressive speaker. Worth every penny!

I have not tried that function yet. But according to the instructions included, you are to turn it on and insert card and it will start playing , you can use the + or - to move forward or backward. I love the sound I get out of it for my Kindle Fire, so have not tried other ways. Good luck.

I bought the Quantum FX for the purpose syncing a video taping of a musician to previously recorded songs that he wrote. I loaded the two mp3's on to an SD card on my computer.The operation is then....plug the SD card in slot on the front.set the "function" knob to usb/sd.turn up the volume.The mp3 may start playing on its own or you may have to press the "play/pause" button.The you can access the various mp3s with either the forward or back button.I used only two songs so I don't know how accessing several mp3s would work or if it works at all if the mp3s are in folders.

The slot cards will play in other san disk mp3 players. I think you can put a micro SD card in the slot player, but the slot player lacks the controls other players have. I bought my slot player cheapfor the collection of music that came with it so that I could play it on my other sandisk player.

I play music and videos fine from the internal memory. Mp3 for songs and mpeg2 works for videos hope this helps!

Thank you for your help Jason, I was actually able to get my card working by just opening the unit in My Computer (go figure). My question now is how to exit from the SD card games. The games work fine, but the Home button returns me to the start of the game I am in rather than the main menu. Further presses of the button do nothing. I have to power off and back on (a longer than necessary process) to get back to the main menu. Is this "normal"? Is there a fix?Thanks again. -John

I couldn't find a way to do so. I needed to remove the music from folders in order to play them. You could use separate memory cards I suppose.

The device records and plays back MP3 files. All files are recorded or playback over the speakers on the player itself via an SD Card. I have recorded from radio to SD cards placed in the player and also placed SD Cards with MP3 files (podcasts, music, etc.) on it. It's biggest drawback is the fast-forward and rewind buttons work very, very poorly for playback. They so bad that they feature doesn't really work.

You need to remove the mini SD chip from the device and play it on a PC, phone or other device. It comes with a USB reader to plug it into your PC.

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.

Interesting question. All I did was load some files and I play them in order or use skip back/forward buttons. I believe that's all you can do because there's no menue tool or option...just 'play' and skip. BUT know that the audio is superlative as it bypasses the already good Bluetooth. Maybe others know of a way to load an separate playlist? Or...get multiple SD cards LOL. Oh. And it does ecxit SD mode on power off but restart is a button press...

Absolutely, I have a variety of folders set up (example soft rock, Jimmy Buffet, Instrumentals, etc. I have them on a 16 Gig micro SD card. There is a button to skip folders and buttons to skip songs.... Sound is great for its size

According to the manual there is a random play mode with mp3. I have never used it myself.

You can playback directly from the device. I have uploaded through USB and off the SD Card.

Can't answer that, because I returned mine the next day. It would play one MP3 CD and then the next CD it would do an endless search without starting. I didn't even bother to try the SD card function. It is a nice looking unit and sounds good, but the quality of the key features on this player are NOT worth taking a chance on!! I paid fiftybucks for an MP3 player by memo rex...it works great!! No SD card feature though. :(

You are correct, there is a microSD card that installs in the belly of the unit. You start/stop recording by pressing a very small button next to the card slot. I purchased a class C10 SD card as it records faster so the video is smoother than a less expensive card. After flying, you can put the card in your phone, or computer to play back the video. It's very good considering the cost of the unit, w/ auto-adjusting contrast and exposure. Enjoy.

After reading this question, I decided I wanted to know the answer also. I've only been using generic 1 and 2GB micro SD cards without problems. So I grabbed my DSLR and took out the Sandisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 micro SD card inside. I downloaded a bunch of music folders from my PC and copied them to the card. I put the card into the SimplyVibe Portable Speaker and it immediately started playing my music.

Yes, just hold the play button for a couple of seconds for activation. It works very well.
