Yes, the speaker works immediately while charging via USB or plugged into the wall.

I only know that i need to charge it when it stops playing music, but it can be in the on or off position to charge, i prefer the off position though because it charges faster. there is no indicator for it charging however.

Yes you can use this while charging. Depending on the volume, this will result in some static/noise, but I've only experienced this turning it all the way up just to see if there was noise from charging.

No! Others stated that you couldn't charge and play due to the cable hitting while in the stereo. I solved this by cutting away part of my pretty BMW's cassette player. It won't play while charging.Now I have a cutup BMW and an adapter that must be turned on and paired periodically. I'm not a fan! I wish this had been mentioned previously. It's a poor design and I'm returning it now.

Short answer: no. To my knowledge, there's no way to power the Clip Plus and play at the same time. To recharge the battery, it must be plugged into a USB host. When that is done, the device presents itself as a hard drive, and the play feature is no longer available.

Yes, you can charge while play music. You can also keep it plugged all the time.

Yes the music plays while being charge. I can not answer the second question. I have over 500 songs on a 4gb sdcard and I have yet to reach the end. My only dissapointment with this device, once you turn it off the music go back to the first song. other than that It's a good device for the price and the speakers are pretty loud!

1. I bet you can since the sync info maintain at the device itself but only 1 device can be played at 1 time.2. USB micro charger3. Never tried that but mine still working after so many days without charging.

I found out the hard way that you can not. Once the battery dues it won't charge and play at the same time. Also there is no warning that the battery is low. Best thing is just to charge it on a regular basis. Hope this helps.

Not in my experience. The device seems to charge just fine while off or on, even while actively playing music. I have never been able to run the battery long enough to go completely dead so I don't know if that is the case with a totally dead battery.

I left mine charging overnight, just to be sure. Unbelievably, I haven't charged it again in weeks and its still going strong! I'd recharge it every few weeks or so to make sure you get a good sound. The red light is just to acknowledge that its connected and charging, if it comes on and is plugged in. It also makes a bloop sound when you press and hold the power button, to acknowledge that it is ready to be paired with your bluetooth device to play music. When you are ready to turn it off and disconnect bluetooth, you press and hold the power button for a few sec. and you will hear the sound again before it shuts off. That's how I preserve the battery. I've never heard distortion or feedback. Maybe its time to charge it if thats what you are getting.

Have you upgraded to the latest firmware Karen? The new firmware manages the battery much better. Also, for the first few usages, the battery will not yet utilise its full potential. Make sure you empty it fully before charging it. After a few usages, you will get its optimum performance. If you continuously use it, you should easily get about 12hours of music. But if you turn on and off occasionally, it will draw the battery faster. Also, remember that the wireless is always using the battery too. Turn it off for more listening time :) I hope that helps.

You can connect two different devices at the same time, and charge both. It will "rescan" each time you switch input devices on the head unit. You can only play one at a time as a source.

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

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!
