A:AnswerI have not tried that, I believe you will need a usb adaptor for the phone to plug in the sandisck then transfer from your downloaded music folder to device,
A:AnswerYes. Carefully follow the detailed instructions in the user's manual for creating playlists on your PC and moving files. I missed one step and had to start over but that was my only issue with the device and usage.
A:AnswerI have not ever found a mp3 player that would properly shuffle a large number of songs. I even have trouble with shuffle with music apps on android phones.
A:AnswerI have not directly downloaded a CD but have downloaded songs I had converted to digital files from CD's. So bottom line is you can put your CDs on this player. That worked with no problem other than losing some graphics like an album cover for some songs. That did not happen with most graphic art that I downloaded. Think some graphics did not transfer well because the player is so small and it depends on how the art work was produced. There was no issue at all with the actual music I downloaded
A:AnswerThere is a pause button. It seems to hold in place even if powered down. When I have used it, I power off and turn back on to continue where it left off. So I guess you are ok for audiobooks. Hope that helps.
