does it charge the MP3 player or do I need a separate charging unit?

It charges both my iPod and my iPhone. I therefore assume it would charge other brands of MP3 players as well.

It has a usb charger as a part if he unit, but you have to have your own charging cable

No, it does not charge the MP3 player on its own. You can however use an USB cable separately to charge it.

It will charge the player but you will need a separate charging cable with a USB connection

All rechargeable devices should be charged before first use, no matter if it is your mp3 player, your phone, etc. One never knows the charge level of their device right after purchase.

All necessary charging cords come with the unit. Don't forget to switch the player to the "ON" position. It's sort of difficult to see at lower right under side of unit.

You just connect it to your computer via the cord that is included. Charge it up just as you would a phone or MP3 player.

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

A charge should be good for a few hours. More importantly, your MP3 player's charge will go much further, since you won't have to play it at full volume to drive a pair of headphones

you need a cord that has the same type plug as head phones on both ends of the cord you can plug your mp3 player into the aux with the cord

You have to unscrew the the tail part off the speaker. There is a rubber cover underneath. It will be marked for mini usb. Just plug in and the unit will charge.

The charger uses a USB connection to provide power, so as long as the MP3 player has a USB connector, then it should.

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.

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:

No this MP3 cannot be charged, it may work while plugged in through USB without batteries, but it wont hold charge if it does not have a battery. It uses one AAA and last a while on it

I have bought a number of MP3 players here. I gave this as a gift to someone and I added a charger unitconplete with cables I puchased here for $4 (that's $0.01 plus $3.99 shipping.) The unit comes with the USB cable to charge from a PC. Ont he other hand the video part beats some others I have seen.

It does not require a seperate charger. You can plug it in using the supplied USB cord.

It accepts a USB charger, so it should work. I use it for mp3 players I have, of which one is a Apple Nano, a shuffle and an iTouch.hope that helps. I like this one, because it is built sturdy and it has a swivel feature, so you can plug it in upside down if you have another cord in the same outlet

Yes, it does need to be charged. I would not connect it with the sound source until it is charged.
