charging MP3's without PC

[ann M]

I want to buy an MP3 player to load with music for my elderly parent, I need one < £30, that can be charged without having to be plugged into a computer, any suggestions?

most mp3 players come with accessories that you can plug and charge on a wall.. although for some you buy it.

Nowadays a bundled charger is often not provided with a new player (sorry to correct you Carlobee). However, most players are compatible with generic USB to AC chargers.

You might want to take a look at the Cowon E2 or the Archos Clipper as both of them are below £30 and can be charged with the adapter below, which is £5.99:

Oh. I stand corrected. Thanks for that one Elliot. Haven't really used a lot of players yet. :)

No worries - you would have been right originally as it's only the last few years companies have stopped including this kind of accessory.

It's easy to solve the problems. If you want to charge the mp3 player without PC, the other way is that using the battery charger. What' s more, this way is very convenient. So i think whatever mp3 player you buy, you only have a battery charger and a USB cable.
