Charging: How does the player charge?

You don't want it to be mini-usb, that kind is better. Mini-usb ports have little pins in them that can break. I had a Sansa Clip with a mini-usb port and when I pulled it out of the charger, one pin got all bent out of shape and it wouldn't charge. I had to get a new mp3 player.

This is not a definitive answer, but I started charging it, then tried to play a song, and got nothing until I turned the speaker on. Then the alternating red and blue lights that signify a charge is in progress stopped and just the blue flashed, as it does when you are playing. So my answer is no, but I would get a second opinion.

I don't know for sure but you can charge it while plating music from sd card.

I believe if I remember correctly, It came charged. Charging system gets stronger as it re-charges each time. I think by 4th time it's at maximum charge. I am amazed every time this runs.... the dirt it picks up.

Yes, it will charge while playing. If the battery is totally dead, a ten minute pre charge is sufficient to play a movie if it stays plugged in. By the time the movie is over, it will have a full charge.

The unit charges off a micro usb port. As long as you are playing through bluetooth or the provided sound cord, the usb cord can be used to 'plug into the wall'

No, I don't think it will. There is a switch on it that must be in the "Charge" position for the player to charge. I have found that the player charges pretty quickly though, then the switch must be moved to the "Play" position.

Please connect your player to the computer through USB lead. And make sure that the player is fully charged. Can you please press and hold play button until the player turns on.

if you play it plugged in, you will use ac power. it will charge the battery at the same time or keep it topped off. i play it plugged in at work and when i take it home its fully charged.

When you say "charge" do you mean "usb ac power adapter"? Most MP3 players including this one usually only come with a USB plug only, but if you feel it's necessary to purchase an ac power adapter, amazon sales several on here for pretty cheap. Here's one going for a pretty low price:

The usb out must be plugged into a usb charger or computer to be charged. Any usb charger that accepts standard usb can be used. The unit can play while charging - radio, mp3s on a micro SD card, usb line in or auxiliary line in.

I mailed this player to my two grandsons so I'm not there for the most part when they use it. But my recollection, from my two other grandsons, is that it can be charged while in use. I hope my answer helps somewhat. Bottom line, they love it and use it often.

This is the cool feature of charging the player with the USB cable. I have also ordered one just counting days for the package to come and i can listen / watch kool music.

Yeah, I use my phone charger and a mini usb cord from an old mp3 playe that fits it. I don't know about the charge as it is plugged in more often than not and has yet to be put to the test.
