yeah my ipod didn't have a wall charger either, you just plug it into the computer or get a wall/cig usb charger.

Check the manual brah cuz that's a pretty dumb idea if they don't let you charge/listen at the same time IMMFO

I can't do it with my sansa. :shrug:

wan, can u look up manual? all sony sites are blocked here :blah: NWZ-S545 :chuy:

Well see the issue comes down to one thing. Only one device can access the players memory at one time. When you aren't plugged in, the player has access to the memory/music. When you plug it into USB the player goes "oh snaps a computer" and gives access to the computer it is connected to. Most newer mp3 players and phones and whatnot can either tell that it is just a power source, NOT a computer and therefore let you listen to music. Some will ask you too, something like "Connect to Computer?". If you say Yes then no listening to music, if you say no it just charges.

Lemme looks eddeh

i found it brah :shake:

u sold ur ipod :(

:high5:

I was REALLY happy with my touch. The only reason I got rid of it was because after I got this beast phone I srsly didn't touch it again. I thought I would but I didn't lol

You can get USB power output doohickeys for 12v and wall outlets.

My Sansa will play off USB power if there's no data connection from the USB, just power.

I forgot I have like 3 of those usb wall plug thingies from me Pre :slap: I have a 12v one I used for my 700wx too....but its no good if I cant play music while it charges...I'll try the 12v one when I get home...but its likely going back to BB.

def give it a try tho, like i said some can tell if it is JUST power and no data and they'll charge/play at the same time

if thats the case you can get a $1.99 cig usb charger from monoprice :jester:

I would use Pre as mp3 but dont want to stuff it with music and slow it down. Plus its only got like edit: 6.6 gigs left and I have 4.5 in music so far.

Wait, so what were you plugging it into to charge before that was giving it a USB data connection?

THC, plugged to PC

wan, I have 6.6 left :blah:

ok, plugged it to wall usb thingie from my Pre, it charges and I can still play musica.

minez came with 16gb microsd card :whoa: so I be good so far. Can you expand your memory with an sd card or is it all internal? Either way I have like NO internal, all storage is on the card.
:high5: then you just need a usb charger in your truck. Don't haz one for pre?

mira $1 lol http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2

damn micro usbs be whored out. The only micro usb cable available is the 15ft one. It's still only $2 though :roflmao: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2

When you have it plugged into the PC, just let the PC do the playing. Any music playing program can play music that is stored on a USB device unless it's something like an iPod that stores music in a proprietary format.

o ya that is actually the ONLY thing I don't like about iPods, you have to use ghey iTunes or there are a few other free programs that will do it. I've never really liked iTunes. I mush prefer to drag and drop in whatever folder structure I want.

There's a couple other things to dislike about iPods...the ridiculous price, and the proprietary accessories (though AFAIK most can use standard accessories too, 3.5mm and USB stuff).

Lunch time. :pepperjest:

I bought a cradle and case for it but besides that I didn't have to buy any proprietary stuff. The cradle/case would have had to be specific to ANY device.

Well i did buy a cig charger but I could have gone the usb cig lighter route, which is what I do now for everything that has a usb cable.

I hate cradles!

Well its not so much a cradle, it doesn't sit in it. It was a window mount that you snap teh iPawd into so it wasn't sitting in my cupholder. I want to get one for my phone but the only one out so far is made by Motorola and is $30 :blah:

i guess I could play through wmp :shrug: Ima have to find me 12v usb charger :hmm:
