Does the Cowon S9+ need to be charged BEFORE I can load music?

I can't find it in the manual but I would charge it for a couple of hours first thingout of the box. That's what I did.

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.

If it is for the first time yes. It charges when you connect it to your USB port,during your downloads.

I have the i9+ and that did not require charging before loading music. There is power as soon as you attach the device to your computer. Is the USB cable. By the way, the audio is great.

You will still be charged even if you disable the auto top up. I disabled it on mine, and i still got charged and INSANE amount of money, when I was hardly online at all. I would recommend that you don't buy this, but if you do choose to, make sure you completely turn off the device when you are not using it.

Yes. But if the battery is 100% discharged, it takes a minute or two once plugged in before it will accept a new BT connection and play audio properly. It's not a big deal to wait the 60 seconds, but just to save you some frustration that once plugged in after full discharge, best to wait else it behaves oddly sometimes.

It plays music for sure but mine is out of juice as we speak and now hooked up to my puter but perhaps I have skipped something. Seems like it ought to charge and maybe mine was turned off after playing.I'm not mych help, I guess.

Actually it is NOT a charging port. I have played songs on the USB but have never divided them into playlists so can't help you there. Sorry

The device has an internal battery and can be charged and used without being plugged in. That said if your battery runs low you do have the option of plugging the unit in to play music.

No, it does need to be charged when you first get it and as it completes a few charges on your device.

No. You plug it in, it downloads your stock information, then you upload the tune that you want. Then unplug it and your done.

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

Yes, I just tried it, and I was able to play music while it was charging. I also pulled open an app to check bus schedules and it worked too.

Charge it overnight. Do not think you can over charge it. I just love the loud sound this produces. Music never sounded better

No. If you plug in the usb cord to the device it charges it but you still need an aux cord to play your music

Pretty easy. I use Media Monkey and have autosynch set up. Or, you can just drag and drop files - it shows up as drive on your comuter when plugged in via the USB. The Cowon interface takes a little getting used to. More folders-based than Apple or Android products. That said, I don't mind it and the better sound quality and file compatability makes it worth it. BTW, Cowon is being responsive to my warranty claim. Not impressed with the build quality on this device. Much preferred the earlier generation and the S9. But I don't see many other complaints, so perhaps I just had an aberration.

Yes, it has a cable that connects it to a USB port, that can be used for charging as well as loading songs.

I don't know for sure but you can charge it while plating music from sd card.
