I couldn’t find any reference to playing while charging or plugged in for these things. Is it possible to play tunes from the Express through its phones while it’s plugged into a USB port? I’m looking to use it for a music on hold device in our server room. None of the servers have sound cards, but if this could sit in the USB of a server sucking juice and playing into our PABX, it’d be ideal.
Thanks for the link. Not sure why the search didn’t find it.
I’ll look for a Suggestions thread, but make it here too, in case I can’t find one:
It would be a good idea if the data lines didn’t *necessarily* disable playback through the phones. If you’re near a computer this would mean you needn’t stop listening to your tunes, even if it’s not your machine.
There are some dedicated USB charging cables you can buy from some retailers now that are basically nothing more than retractable USB cables that only carry power, and no data. Circuit City has some that come with different adapters for different devices, but should work fine on the Express on their own.
