Does this play while being connected to the USB port (for charging)?

I believe so, though I have not tried it yet... it seems that, anymore, nearly all devices will work while charging. sorry I could not be more sure! It is an awesome little speaker with BIG sound! Especially on Styrofoam or cardboard!

It does, but if you plug it in to power while it's playing, it shuts off. You have to turn it back on after plugging in the USB cable. Just tried it on mine.

Sure can! I have done it many times - charging while playing. If I want to do a straight charge with no playing going on, I will remove the flash drive and then plug in the charging cable - the light comes on both the blinking light and the screen light. I turn off the blinking light and when the screen light starts blinking the mini speaker is fully charged. I have experienced no problems with my mini speaker - hope this helps you.

No. You can charge your device using the USB but to play you would need a 3.5 male to male cable.

It only plays. If I am wrong, I would like to know. Stylish little portable/rechargeable speaker plays with both my phone & iTouch.

Unfortunately, I cannot get the USB connection to play at all. It will charge my cell phone but not play. Yes, the cd will play on battery power.

Nope. You have to plug the iphone to the port on top and it plays and charges at same time.

Mine will not play while charging. I'm using it with a Samsung tablet.Update: After it had charging for about 10 minutes or so, I turned it off and on and then it worked. It was totally dead when I plugged it in, so that may have had something to do with it.

Only through a rear auxiliary port. There is no USB connection. the three options to play are the front dock, auxiliary or Bluetooth.

If you mean via USB, no. It only charges and plays from flash drives using the USB. I would still recommend this item though, better than its competitors.

Yes, you can play music and accept calls while charging. You can leave it plugged in, it works while plugged in and unplugged.

HI, it plays both. There is a finction that turns on which every one you want to play. It serves as a charger as well. Very happy with the quaily of sound as well, for the price.

Yes. The unit plays while being charged. It should be paired with a Bluetooth device before attaching the charging cable.

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.

Yes it does. Plug it in and charge it, and then unplug it and play it (of course after connecting your device). It lasts for 10-15 hours approximately.

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 you can. Mine charges fine, while also playing music. If you are asking whether the USB serves as a charger and audio input then no.
