Hi Flippy McDurfkin, connecting your compatible iPod to this Sony DSXA40UI will also charge the unit. -Ely

I use an iPod Touch in mine, but it does charge it while I have it on the cradle. I can only assume that it will do so with the other devices.

You plug in the cord that it comes with to a usb adapter to charge and yes it should work with your ipod

The unit is not designed to hook up an Ipod type device directly, unless it is USB. There are other units that are made specifically for use with an Ipod. The pin type connection on those devices may also charge your Ipod.

Yes, it does charge it while playing...unless you're using the AUX port of course.

No. If you plug in the usb cord to the device it charges it but you still need an aux cord to play your music

I got this for my girlfriend so I don't use it a lot but I think it has an aux cord attached. it also has an iPod/iPhone connector but I think it was designed for the latest iPhone/iPod technology, less than a year or so old or it wont connect. I think it does charge older devices but I can't remember.

No it doesn't, but it includes a connection so that you can play your iPod through your receiver, but than you will drain your battery.

Yes it will. If you charge it off your computer however, make sure that you eject the iPod to use it while it charges.

Yes! I charge my Zune as I use it. So far this has been a great little unit! Also can't beat the price!!

Yes. The usb cord serves as the charger. The unit doesn't charge when not plugged in to computer.

Nope, it says that it does, but when I plug it in my ipod says that charging is not supported with this device.

Yes it does. It charges a little slower but it does charge while you use it.

Yes it charges when it's on the iPod docking station, and quite quickly. However the docking station is very sensitive and didn't last long :(

It charges my Ipod nano but I think mine is third generation, but I don't see why it wouldn't charge yours if it is the same connecter. Hope this helps.

I charge the ipod with my computer. It is recommended not to charge with multiple sources, such as directly connected to the wall with a USB adapter. Using the computer, I can always sync new music.
