I am curious if it is safe to plug the walkman in a usb hub or wall--jack to charge?

Charging of the internal battery is compatible with 100 ~ 240V safety has been secured.Portable headphone amplifier PHA-2 and USB DAC amplifier UDA-1 and the digital connection is possible.

I haven't tried to play music through usb yet, but it does come with a headphone style jack for music input, and I can confirm that the usb port will charge devices. I should get some .wma and .mp3 files and try then on my phones external storage setting...

PJC,My assumption is that the USB connector was not made to the correct specification. I make this assumption based on my overall displeasure with the charging unit. In short.....it doesn't work. I plug my Sansa Disk into a USB port on my computer and in an hour or so, I'm at 100% recharge power. I have actually monitored the charge on my Sansa Disk using the outlet plug-in charger. I would allow the MP3 player to recharge for an hour and to my dismay, the MP3 actually lost a significent percentage of its charge while plugged into the wall outlet.Frankly, the plug-in charger is worthless, in my opinion. I'm not surprised that the quality control on the size of the USB connector is dismal.Sincerely,cmp PJC,My assumption is that the USB connector was not made to the correct specification.

I have never tried. I only see one jack on the walkie and it is where you plug in the charger.

the 2 radios and a cable which will allow charge both simulataneously connected to the wall. I never tried to USB charge them; but the connector would pemmit it.

You use the 3.5 jack as if you were plugging in headphones. The USB port is just for charging your device.

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.

The unit IS the wall plug. On the back of the unit (opposite side from Logo shown on Amazon) is a standard 110v 2 prong connector. So you plug this unit right into the wall (or use any standard extension cord including the cheap ones for lamps, etc). USB slot as mentioned is for charging your phone/tablet that might be providing the tunes and the Mini Jack is the audio output. The USB Jack is a nice touch but instantly makes me wonder why you wouldn't just use the headphone jack on the device and save yourself $35 if they are that close together.

I actually purchased the wall adapter charger for the USB cable today. Its by COBY as well (though you can use it for any MP3 just about I am sure). I purchased it because I dont want to have to turn my computer on whenever this MP3 PLAYER needs to be charged. It is actually only $8 dollars (was $12.00) must be on sale or something, so Its not even as EXPENSIVE as some of the more expensive MP3 PLAYER WALL CHARGERS. I hear its great. i am hoping it charges faster than the computer.

You can charge your walkman as many times as you wish. Did you want to know how long it will take to charge your walkman? Your walkman will probably charge the same speed as with any other USB charger.

Like it's been said if your drive has a plug you should be fine, but the longer a USB cable is, the less amount of power there is that GETS to a device. Like the rep said I doubt this would charge / power ANYTHING, not even a tiny mp3 player. Let alone a usb hard drive like a WD passport.

I don't know about charging, but I was able plug in and use both the ameda purely yours and Medela symphony without any issues.

No, charging is done via the USB connector. The audio output jack takes a headphone audio plug and is only mono out.

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.

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.

I never thought to try that, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's a standard USB plug, so anything would plug into it. Would certainly be handy when travelling!
