wasp Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 My mp3 player lives in the car it's a hassle to have to charge it on the computer. I've seen some ipod chargers you stick in the cigerette lighter & they have a usb at the other end to charge an ipod. So I've asked the sales person at 2 different outlets if these can be used for a non ipod mp3 player but nobody seems to know. Could assume that usb is the same anywhere, but just to make sure i don't damage my player can anyone confirm if these chargers would do any mp3 player? I have a sony, and a sandisk.

supasi Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 SImple... If your mp3 charges via usb and can be used while charging on computer then YES. If not then NO. I sell them at work, they are very popular. the most popular we sell being Philips one for $29.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasp Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hey thanks for all that guys! Haven't actually had time to sort this yet but i'll drop into DSE or parallel imports or whatever i go past first & get one of these. I'll get the cigerette lighter one but i may hotwire it under the dash just to keep out of view of bad guys who might covet the mp3 player! Not too expensive either so excellent!
