Can this or any other MP3 player play in the car and charge at the same time?

Yes it definitely can. When the charger cable is hooked up to a computer it charges but isn't capable of playing music at the same time. When it is hooked up to a direct power source (like the "lighter" socket in a car) it automatically turns on and and can play music at the same time while it charges. This is in fact the primary way I charge my Clip. Hope this helps!

Yes, it will play music files (mp3, wma, etc.) on a usb drive and it works with file folders on the drive. You can even use it to charge.

If your car only have lighter port, you can't play music with it. However, you still can charge your cell phone with it.

If your charger has a USB connectivity you can use this as a charger. I have an iPhone for example. I take the part that plugs into the wall off and put the USB end in the adapter. You can charge your phone and play music at the same time. The auxiliary chord goes in my iphone where headphones go. The music plays through the radio speakers in the car.

Yes you can charge while listening to music, but it will take longer to get a full charge.

Yes you can, but you will need an auxiliary cable. Using the auxiliary cable will not allow the speaker dock to charge your mp3 player nor will it allow you to utilize the remote. However, it will amp your sound.

Yes, it can charge the phone at the same time. Use the turn on the "location" button, and the "car mode" button and use it hands free!

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

Yes, I've played music through it while charging it at the same time in the car. Some reviewers have mentioned that they get some feedback noise while doing that. I have heard no feedback noise with my device.

Yes you can. Mine charges fine, while also playing music. If you are asking whether the USB serves as a charger and audio input then no.

Yes. The device can not do two functions as the same time. It can either charge or be charged.

If you have an auxilliary jack on your car stereo system, you can play any portible mp3 player on your car stereo. You just plug one end of the cord into the headphone jack of your player and the other end into the auxilliary jack of your car stereo. Then you set your car stereo to AUX. My husband had this kind of stereo installed in my truck for me. Works great! I can listen to anything that's on my mp3 player and not have to carry CD's around.

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.

Should be able to, just plug in headphones instead of speaker while charging.

I don't see why not. My car has the aux jack (3.5mm) and a usb port. I play music from a thumb drive and any power that is needed is supplied by the car's battery. The only reason I know it would not work is due to bit rate, but this can be worked around in windows media player (lower the bit rate)

The usb out must be plugged into a usb charger or computer to be charged. Any usb charger that accepts standard usb can be used. The unit can play while charging - radio, mp3s on a micro SD card, usb line in or auxiliary line in.
