I tried and it will not charge and play at the same time. The charging cord does not allow the device to seat properly in the cassette player.

It barely works. Mine stopped working in about um... 6 tries. You have to plug it in to charge it.

NO! the only way to use it for more than a few hours without a recharge is to connect the headphone out on the device to an aux input, if you have it, on your head unit.

You use this device to listen to MP3 players or your iPod/iPhone. It works like a cassette, you just put it in and it has a cord attached to it that you plug into your player and it plays the music like that. I got this one for my car because my car doesn't have an audio input.

this mp3 player is great.....but it will not play while being charged as far as I can tell....I have a neat little speaker and I can charge the speaker while I listen but I make sure I'm charged up before using it in the car......sorry

Good question . . . I never got this thing to work at all, it went in to my cassette player and the player tried to rewind it forever since there was no tape in it to stop it. I threw it away in the end.

It doesn't play cassettes in the unit, but it has an input jack and a short connection cable. That can be hooked up toany device with a headphone output. So it can act as a portable speaker for cell phones, MP3 players, laptops etc.That works very well.

Sharon, there is nothing in the instructions advising against charging and playing at the same time. I tried it for a few minutes and it worked fine. The batteries should play for 12+ hours, so that gives you a lot of playing time before needing to recharge.

Yes - if it's a power source ONLY. That is - if you have it plugged into anything it detects as a "computer", it will go into music transfer mode. But if you're using (for example) an AC-to-USB charger like many cell phones use, the Clip will play just fine while charging. I've also used a portable cell phone charger that uses two AA cells, and it ran fine from that as well.

I can only answer indirectly, since I no longer have a car equipped for cassettes. The cars I owned previously (1993 Jeep & 1983 Saab) played such cassettes without any problems.

no, you cannot charge and play the music at the same time. But charging it does not take too long time. So you don't have to really worry about it.

Mine doesn't work with the car charger either. I assumed the battery was dead. How inconvienent if one has to charge it in the house if one travels a lot. Also It only lasts for a month and I don't use it much. Also it shuts off after ten minutes out of the car which is inconvienent because there is no way to tell if it is on when you get back in.Very good sound however and otherwise I like it.

Hello......Yes, this plays cassettes too...I also have a large collection of them that I don't want to give up, so this fits the bill!

Wouldn't know. That's the purpose for which I bought it, but the cassette player didn't work at all. Returned it. Run away, run away!

It starts charging as soon as you dock it. If you use a portable speaker, then it will charge when your speaker is charging. It does not charge separately. I have not used this in a car yet. But it does have an AUX jack so you can connect it using it. Not sure about the 30-pin to USB, but I don't see why that shouldn't work. Hope that helps!

It works with any standard car cassette player. That being said I would not buy this product. Mine stopped working a few weeks after I bought it.

I apologize as I am not sure. I have given the device to my husband and he usually has a boom cube attached to it or plays it in the car with an attachment that lets him play it through the car stereo. I am hoping that information may help you a little bit; but once again I do apologize.

You can use your phone while it is charging. You could have any app open, including music apps. But I don't think that it'll play the music over the speakers in the car. It doesn't in my car.
