One thing to keep in mind is that while charging with a pc the display stays on, and it takes longer to tharge than with a cell phone charger. Some who have always charged their player using a pc have reported that the display eventually wore wore out. I think this may be more likely with the Clip+ and Clip Jam than with the Clip sport, however it is still a good idea to charge the player most of the time using a cell phone charger.
As always, the devil is in the details: it all depends on the amperage of the external charger and of the PC port being used. Specifically, some PCs come with a specific charging port that puts out more power than a typical USB port (500 mA). Conversely, many external USB chargers put out no more power than a standard PC USB port (but perhaps, typically, external phone chargers do)–I have many external chargers with an output of only 500 mA, the USB port “standard.”
