The product cannot be re-charged. It runs on a single AAA battery. There is a battery indicator on the display. Battery replacement is easy.

not without the battery,but it can charge it with the battery for a longer battery life

It charges the chargeable battery I dont put an Alkaline even a chargeable Alkaline into it and then try to charge it the battery could possibly get to hot and may leak ,if its a 1 in a hundred chance think if you want to take an unecessary chance? It will run on a Alkaline for emergencies though

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

The usb is for dragging and dropping music to the player only, one AAA battery is what is needed to play it which will give you a play time of 30 hours, you can also use a rechargeable AAA battery but the USB will not charge the battery, you would need to buy an AAA battery charger, charge the battery outside the mp3 player then Re-Insert it. There is confusing and bad information listed in the comments.

The USB does play songs. As for charging, I don't know. I haven't tried it.

The speaker comes with it's own charging cord which is a mini-USB to USB. So, unfortunately it can only plug into a USB port or your cell phone's USB charging adapter; however the battery lasts a long time and while I charge it every once in a while when I think about it, it has never died on me. Can simultaneously charge while playing.

Batteries are not replaceable and, based on my experience and discussions I have read, only last about a year under even light use. They you need to recycle the mp3 player and buy another. Not worth it! Buy a player with a replaceable battery even if it is a little more!

It comes with a charge/sync usb cable. It will plug into any usb slot on a computer or (usb) block plug. The end that plugs into the mp3 player is a micro usb plug.

I found that mine won't charge at all when connected to my computer at work. It DOES charge on both of my home computers, and I did install the Creative software on those computers. I e-mailed Creative's support to inquire if the software was required on a computer for it to charge the player, but I've heard nothing back from them. Since then, I've bought a second battery (non-OEM Lenmar battery) until I can find a reliable and inexpensive A/C charger (this also means non-OEM since Creative's prices are nuts).

I'm not sure! The USB cord came with mp3 playe! I sent mine back to the factory to be repaired since it's still under warranty, but they asked for almost $20 shipping!!! Don't waist your money on this!

The "new" ones that I purchased have come with a mini USB cord that plugs into a computer to charge (and to transfer MP3 files) or into a standard USB/AC adapter (not supplied). It also came with earbud holder, earbuds adaptors and software; although I never used the software, I just used it like an external USB drive and drug the MP3's to it like any MP3 player.

You would need to have a way to hook up to speakers because does not have any with it and would have ti have a computer to charge it. It only charges when the USB cable is plugged in to download MP3s. Hope this helps

Kevin, u got it wrong..It comes with a USB cable which will charge your player the moment you connect it to your PC :) Same goes for iPod..The charger that you see on the marketplace is IF you want to plug in the Zune to power socket.. :) While you are syncing your player, it will do the charging for you..isnt that just fine?

This device does not charge using USB. It has a separate charge port. You can run and charge this device after internal battery has drain down using the charge port.

Yes, it is rechargeable. It comes with a usb cord that can be used to recharge it. The battery life lasts a very long time. I have only recharged mine once and I have had it for over 6 months. I hope that this helps. I absolutely love mine and the sound quality is awesome!

It does charge by USB. Plug it into any phone charger or any USB adapter. Buy any universal USB charger/adapter.

There is no USB port. Don't know about MP3. I use it for my laptop and iPhone.

the player only came with a usb charger, but for a couple of bucks you can get a wall adapter and charge it via the usb cord from a wall plug.

You can connect it to any USB port and will charge while playing. You can also play through external amplified speakers. I hope it helps.

It is rechargeable and it comes with its own usb chord. However the chord is short so playing while it's charging isn't much of an option. Sorry I was really late with you answer.
