AC Adapter for Charging Sansa Clip w/o Connecting to Computer

Here’s a question that I cannot find an answer to.  I am wondering if when plugged into an ac adapter, such as the adapter for the Motorola Razr, the Sansa Clip turns itslef on and starts charging.  Can I turn the clip off with the power button on the unit and have it still charge, or does it need to be on and playing a song or radio station or whatever?  Please someone let me know.  Also, did anyone get any software with their clip, I just got the 2gb model for my birthday and it didn’t have any software in the box.

Thanks,

Kevin
