Does the computer need to be turned on to chrage my mp3?

Question

Can you just turn the compter off and let the mp3 charge? Is that possible?

Answer 1

It's impossible to charge an mp3, as an mp3 is just a music file. You're probably referring to an mp3 player such as an iPod that can be recharged over the USB connection. If that is the case, the computer would need to be turned on in order to supply power to the mp3 player.

Answer 2

Assuming you have your MP3 player connected to the computer through a USB cable the answer is yes. Power is only supplied to the USB when the computer is powered on.

Answer 3

No power is going to the USB port unless the PC is on.

Answer 4

yes your pc has to be on, but for around a fiver you can by a usb wall socket plug and plug your mp3 player and charge that way.

Answer 5

Yes the computer needs to be on to charge your MP3.

Good Luck!!
