does this charge as it plays the ipod too?

No, unfortunately it does not. I did not discover this until after I purchased it.

Yes you can connect to the speaker and play music as you normally would while the speaker is charging.

The USB is powered, so if you connect this to your stereo per the instructions (by connecting to the rear USB and auxiliary connections on your stereo), the USB will charge whatever device you plug into it. So, if you need to charge your iPod, for example, it will charge. HTH

It charges the iPod when it's plugged in to an electrical outlet. If you are using batteries, it doesn't charge the iPod.

Hello, no it will not charge it. the iPod dock actually sucks... It went down on me after the first month! but if decide too, you could always get an adapter to switch it to an iPod 5.

no, but it works great. my only complaint is that when you dock your phone, it automatically turns music on, when all i want to do is charge it.

Yes, the cable charges whatever you have connected to it. However, the cable will only seem to play my ipod and not music from my iphone. If you plug your iphone to the cable, it will charge, but seems not to be compatible with playing music from the phone library.

sorry for the late response....I just tried mine and the music is kinda skipping whilst the colour changes. So, Im guessing that it does not play while it is charging.

Yes, however it claims to charge the Ipod but from my experience it doesn't.

No, the speaker doesnt charge an ipod, you can plug the ipod to the speaker using adapters though

Using a lightning to 30 pin adapter, you can use the dock to play your iphone / ipod - but that adapter will not support simultaneous charging. Playing Music = Yes. Charging your device while you are playing music = No.

Yes it does play while charging. I play it all night long while it's plugged in.

Yes, it does. I believe that the dock connection Apple already uses has a power connection to it, so I everytime you see one it is very likely it will charge your device.But sincerely, my mom bought this Jukebox and it was a total disappointment on my part, the sound is terrible although it's a bit stylish to some tastes. If you want to go for sound quality, my professor at my university uses Roland Acoustics to show us the consequences of certain digital filters, the sound quality of them seems unexpectedly high to me.

It's quite small. It has the old type (wide) Apple connector. Yes it does charge while playing.

It charges both my iPod and my iPhone. I therefore assume it would charge other brands of MP3 players as well.

It does not charge the iPod/iPhone while playing. It holds a charge for up to five hours and can be played anywhere.

No, it uses an electric plug and charges the iPhone at the same time as playing through the speakers.
