You can, but the device would not tune to a station the second time I tried it. It was useless

It worked fine for me for some period of time maybe couple of months but will no longer charge because it is not a certified apple product. I can still play music and it has an adapter to plug another cable into it and charge. For the price I was very happy with the product.

Sharon, there is nothing in the instructions advising against charging and playing at the same time. I tried it for a few minutes and it worked fine. The batteries should play for 12+ hours, so that gives you a lot of playing time before needing to recharge.

Yes. Using the supplied charger and cable I can listen to music while charging.

I don't think so. I just charge my phone separately but you can do that while you're using the speaker. I'm enjoying having portable music!!

You can use your phone while it is charging. You could have any app open, including music apps. But I don't think that it'll play the music over the speakers in the car. It doesn't in my car.

Hi, Yes you can use the speaker while it is plugged into a charging source.

Nope. You have to plug the iphone to the port on top and it plays and charges at same time.

Yes, you can both listen to the same music at the same time with the free online update. However, when you need to talk to one another (by pressing the jog dial) the music will temporarily stop until you end your conversation by pressing the jog dial again.

Yes the music plays while being charge. I can not answer the second question. I have over 500 songs on a 4gb sdcard and I have yet to reach the end. My only dissapointment with this device, once you turn it off the music go back to the first song. other than that It's a good device for the price and the speakers are pretty loud!

Yes, you can play music and accept calls while charging. You can leave it plugged in, it works while plugged in and unplugged.

The USB does play songs. As for charging, I don't know. I haven't tried it.

Yes. I stream audio through the phone to the radio via bluetooth and charge it at the same time. See other answer. The radio must be in certain play modes to charge. Pretty handy.
