Charging How does the player charge? what kind of ports does it have?

You can charge it via computer, A/C, or your car. You can find an accessories 3 piece kit sold on here that includes all 3, although the computer charger is not necessary as it's included. It doesn't have that nice mini-USB port like most gadgets, but the other, wider type of port that many old cell phones have. I think it's a peripheral port, or something to that effect.

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.

It comes with a USB cable that you can plug in and charge it. I have a powered USB hub I use to charge all my stuff (phone, player, earpiece, etc) and it works great. It does not come with its own plug-in AC adapter. That's sold separately. I didn't purchase it and don't miss it.

This player takes a standard mini-USB cable, available from just about anywhere, including here on Amazon, for $5 or less. Just look up "mini USB cable," and you're sure to find several.

I charged it for an hour and a half the first time I charged the player, then an hour the next time, but the unit was not totally uncharged. The website instructions do not give specific charge times.

You use the USB cable that was included, the same one you use to load songs from your computer to the MP3 Player. Once the cable is plugged into the MP3 Player and the other end into the USB port on your compter the white "Power" light should blink, this means the unit is charging. I some times need to eject the player and plug it in again for the light to flash and it can take all day (all night) to charge. You can also buy a wall adapter for the USB cable so it plugs into the wall rather than the computer.

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'

There is a 3 in 1 card slot and a USB port on the front of the player. I don't know what they do; I don't have an external drive to plug up and I threw away the directions.

The mp3 player and headphones, no charger. It uses a standard mini usb charger. It does come with a cable to plug it into your computer, which you can use to charge it.

this come with a bag of charger connections. There is one that fits into the top connection on the device and it plugs into a USB port. So as long as you have a USB to wall charger or a computer you can charge it

It comes with a charger that can be used either in an electrical outlet or the other end has a USB port. Very easy to charge. The only downside to the mp3 player it doesn't have a bookmark for ebooks. But I understand none of them do.

You charge it with the included micro USB cable. Charges fast. Works well. You can use just about any micro USB charging source.

This one does not charge your player. I've had an older Monster on that did. It got old and abused and broke over time. This one won't charge it.

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: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0038HYPZS/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid;=1367949961&sr;=8-1&keywords;=usb+ac+power+adapter&condition;=new

It comes with 3 ports. If you can plug it in, you can play it. I have tried some but not all of the media types you mentioned. I Love this little thing.

It comes with a usb cable which you charge your device and you also load your music from you computer with this cable. And also when you connect your device with computer It ask you to update a converter program which allow you to convert your videos to device's video format. This is a really nice mp3 player. I am using it about 4 mounts. I am charging it once a week to use it a lot(I do not know how much :D).

This unit charges via usb only. It ships with the usb cable. What's nice is that it can be connected/charging and play as well. The battery life has been fantastic on mine and I have several usb/ac dongles via phones and Kindles that I don't need to charge via pc. I hope that helps.

It's a docking station that allows you to plug in to an amp or receiver. It does charge as well.
