Mp3 Players w/ Axefx 2

[claxor]

I like using the USB connection to play backing tracks, but I don't like having to use my computer every time for this purpose.

Sorry if this has been covered, but: are there mp3 players available that output music through a USB cable? Having trouble finding any. (I'm already using the effect loop for effects, so that isn't available)

Thanks!

Hi, just going on memory - verify it for yourself - but I think one or more of the Sansa Players had a USB output. Not sure if that was only for data transfer or also for audio.

USB doesn't just "send audio" like an instrument cable does.

usually a computer and driver needs to be used to send USB audio, so probably not.

So, it needs to probably be a computer. What about tablets?

I use an iPad to play tracks via Bandhelper and feed the audio output of the iPad into this little mixer;

Then I plug my headphones into the mixer. It also helps to reduce the CPU overhead on my Axe-Fx by not using the USB for audio.

I use a IPad with SoundCue, works perfect and stops at the end of the song. I have a little mixer.
