Charging: How does the player charge?

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.

I put the charging plug in the the usb plug in the computer and the other end in the MP3, a little screen pops up that says usb charge or charge and play. You touch which ever one you want. Then it starts to charge. When it is done it says full.

So far as I know, the only way to charge it is via the USB connector: mini-USB to the device, USB to my computer or other USB charging device.

no, it doesnt. you have to charge it pluggin' the USB cable to the computer. but i have 2 chargers from previous other labels mp3's that suit perfectly & thats what i use to charge them. but on the philips. unlike others that get blocked when they are charged with the computer, it has 2 modes, one is " charge & play" in wich you can have it plugged to the computer & still play music. im very happy with this unit, i have 4 already, the only problem that i have with it is that theres only the posibility of making 3 limited playlists, but the last one i made has 12hours of music in one playlist no, it doesnt. you have to charge it pluggin' the USB cable to the computer. but i have 2 chargers from previous other labels mp3's that suit perfectly & thats what i use to charge them. but on the philips. unlike others that get blocked when they are charged with the computer, it has 2 modes, one is " charge & play" in wich you can have it plugged to the computer & still play music. im very happy with this unit, i have 4 already, the only problem that i have with it is that theres only the posibility of making 3 limited playlists, but the last one i made has 12hours of music in... » Read More no, it doesnt. you have to charge it pluggin' the USB cable to the computer. but i have 2 chargers from previous other labels mp3's that suit perfectly & thats what i use to charge them. but on the philips. unlike others that get blocked when they are charged with the computer, it has 2 modes, one is " charge & play" in wich you can have it plugged to the computer & still play music. im very happy with this unit, i have 4 already, the only problem that i have with it is that theres only the posibility of making 3 limited playlists, but the last one i made has 12hours of music in one playlist « Show Less

It does charge but many of the CD's dont even work in this player. I would suggest to go to store see and then buy.

it charges after you put the charger in the ball. it should come with a ball.make sure you order that from Amazon. once you use it you will never be sorry. it is one of the best products I ever use. and it's cheap I have had one for 10 years now and it works as good as ever, good luck with it. I wish you would let me know how u make out

Hi Tim W. It is just an imput that is connected to the rear usb of a radio, but it all depends on the radio you are using. Some Radios are capable of charging a device others not. In my case I just use it for playing music stored on a usb flash drive.

It uses an internal non removable battery,like an ipod or mp3 player.It charges via USB.

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 can charge and play music same time....I believe that answers your question

A usb cord with the special Sony plug is included in the box to charge the player and to transfer songs. ONLY the Sony usb cord will fit, so keep close track of your cord.

Yes. Whether it's plugged into a computer or a socket through an adapter, it can charge while you play.

I just checked the instructions that came with the unit. It states that you can charge USB devices on AC or battery power but in order to save battery life the unit will cease charging external devices if being played on a high volume setting during battery operation. Hope that helps. ;)

It's quite small. It has the old type (wide) Apple connector. Yes it does charge while playing.

I think you just plug it into your computer for a charge. (it's a built in usb)

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.
