will this speaker play music from the smartphone via bluetooth?

Yes ... the speaker will play music from the smartphone via bluetooth.

How do you access bluetooth? The manual says the mode key but when i use that key it just toggles between a padlock icon or mot. ???

Don’t hold the mode button. That accesses the keyboard lock function. A momentary press will cycle through the inputs; aux, Bluetooth, SD card. Stop on Bluetooth. It will show up on your device as. ZWS-603.

Does this record FM broadcasts as MP3 files or WAV files

The files are MP3 type. I recorded from the radio.

How long can this continuously record radio on a single charge?

Not sure on recording, but listening to the radio seems to last about 8 hours
