I need to buy a gift for my wife. Her audio gadget died , so I am thinking to buy her a new one. I have no idea about what types or models there are in the market, so please help me. She usually listens to her audio stuff while she is working in the kitchen or laundry room ..etc. She doesn't use earphones, but speakers built in within the device. The device sits on the kitchen counter. So, it can be connected to power all the time, but she used regular AA batteries for the one which died The dead gadget uses a regular USB flash drive that contains all her audio stuff. But if newer gadgets have internal stoarge , that is even better. Thank you
Tribit stormbox Tribit stormbox blast Anker soundcore Motion Boom Plus SANGEAN RA50562 Fm Bluetooth Radio, Sangean WR-7WL These are mostly Bluetooth but most have auxiliary input. Sent from my SM-T220 using Tapatalk
Very old technology. No-name brand. Called something like (Cologne) It has all kinds of input ports, USB, SD card, For power : it has internal battery that can be charged, or operated directly by 220 V, or 9v power adapter, or AA battery. Our daughter saved all mom's stuff on a USB flash and put it on the device, and it worked great for years So, it's time now to find her a newer gadget
Thank you so much These pages say (speaker) to describe these devices, is it the same thing ?? Do these models store audio stuff (internally or USB flash ..etc.) ??? And how do you choose what you want to hear ??? Is there a display for exmple ?? The gadget that died had no display . You just have buttons to move forward or backward from one selection to another Thanks
Suggestion, buy affordable digital audio player with micro sd card expansion, it does not have to be super expensive, store all music on an SD card, plug adio player into auxiliary of any of the above speakers or radio. They all have superb sound quality. I plug my Sony WM A45 or my Xduoo Nano D3 into my sangean radio, or my Bluetooth speaker all the time using a 3.5mm jack and have no issues. The reason I suggest storing the music on SD cards is you can get large capacity micro SD cards for decent prices, more storage means you can up the quality of the music files to better sounding formats with higher resolution, mp3 files really don't sound that great but they take less room in storage.

Thanks In the beginning, I hesitated a bit (in favor of a USB flash drive) because it is easier to plug it anywhere to copy stuff, but I was happily surprised that my laptop has an SD card port. So, that is what I am ging to do Thanks
Hi everyone Got another question about same audio gadget Suppose I load it with many files of different types ( audio books, podcasts, music ..etc. ) How do I find the file I need ? Do I just press (next), (next),(next), until I find it Is there a way to divide the files into 3 or 4 folders ??
Most audio devices will recognize audio file types such as mp3, wav etcetera exclusively, and ignore video. Any device you intend to buy should have reviews online, or specs available to determine if it will play your files. Have you a device in mind yet? Sent from my SM-T220 using Tapatalk Here is a picture of my walkman playing on a Bluetooth speaker via the 3.5mm auxiliary cable and one via bluetooth Here is also pictured the walkman connected to my sangean radio, there is a model with Bluetooth but that one also has the auxiliary connection available. I can play whatever I want from the player as long as the media format is playable on my walkman.
My daughter bought something that looks like the Sangean Radio. Has a AM/FM radio plus bluetooth and connection for a USB flash and SD card We intend to insert a USB flash, or maybe a SD card loaded with audio stuff I still have the question about scrolling through audio files. How do you find the e-book or podcast that you want to listen to. Do you just scroll through all of them, or is there a way to organize those files, or at least divide them in a few folders (music folder, e-book folder, podcast folder ) Thanks
There is no way for me to know, I don't know the make and model, I don't know if the device has a display screen, you say it is like the sangean I posted a picture of, that means it's an "all in one" device: am/fm, Bluetooth, auxiliary input,USB input, micro sd input....most of them don't have a proper navigation system as they don't come with a display for the digital inputs, just the forward, reverse and play buttons. Most of the young generation just use smart speakers these days, they use streaming services along with the speaker and just ask the speaker to play whatever they want from their playlist, devices that do it all are plentiful but it's still tough to find ones with a full display to navigate the digital because it is secondary function, the primary function is usually as a Bluetooth device, for sending an audio signal from a phone or tablet. Any organization of files has to be done at the computer where you are loading the USB, and for playback you will have to find the stuff you want to play by pushing the forward buttons. You could buy multiple USB drives and use one for music, another for books and another for podcasts Sent from my SM-T220 using Tapatalk
