Play while USB connected? Can this player play audio while it is connected to a USB power source?

Yes - if it's a power source ONLY. That is - if you have it plugged into anything it detects as a "computer", it will go into music transfer mode. But if you're using (for example) an AC-to-USB charger like many cell phones use, the Clip will play just fine while charging. I've also used a portable cell phone charger that uses two AA cells, and it ran fine from that as well.

I'm fairly certain that you can achieve this. I have Logitech Z5 speakers which are also USB powered, and I have used a USB charger to power them while the device (like an ipod) plays thru the audio cable.

I agree with the other comments below. It does have an external power source and a USB plug to plug into your computer. It is a burner, not a player.

I was able to play music on a USB flash drive when running from the battery. If I plugged it in, the music would not play. However, I can play music on a MicroSD card when the speaker is plugged in or running on the battery. We use it to play calming music for our dogs when we are out of town, so being able to have the speaker play while plugged in was important.I hope that answers your question.

Yes it does automatically play as long as it is in "USB" mode, not auxiliary.

yes it will play a USB stick as long as you have the USB adapter cord. I also play an apple I pod thru it and an simple MP3 player.

I was able to use the auxiliary port to play my android phone. Regarding the USB port, I picked up a cheap mp3 player download my music and plugged it in without a problem. Hope this helps a little. Stan

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.

My experience is that it will play adequately. I use it all the time. But I do believe the Fuse is not charging at the same time, and it will run down. MY Fuse does not 'dock' properly into the little shelf, but I was told I could plug my mp3 into speaker with a very short cord that I think came with it. Can't remember, but I bring the cord underneath and the player lays on its side in that little front tray. Works ok.

Yes, it absolutely plays while charging. To make it even more convenient, I use my small Zoom Power Bank for back up power, so I can listen to it all day long and keep it charged while not plugging it into a wall. That's the best combination. bPOWERED UP 6000 mAh Universal Portable External Battery Power Bank with Aluminum 3-in-1 Cord Lightening Plug, Blue

Kerwin, the answer to your question is yes. I started playing my usb and then unplugged the unit. When I plugged it back in, it started playing again on it's own with out me doing anything. PS Be sure to move the selector knob to usb. Just tried it and if you don't move the selector knob the usb just flashes and doesn't play. So move the knob to usb. This happens to be a great little unit. :)

Yes you can connect to the speaker and play music as you normally would while the speaker is charging.

Yes. Just got mine today -- it plays with the battery removed if the usb is connected to power.

You can definitely use an aux cable to play music. But I am not sure whether the usb stick works?
