Nano - Playing Music While Charging

Sometimes you want to listen to the music while charging your Nano at a computer that doesn't have your iTunes installed.

To listen while charging:

1. Plug in using your USB cable.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Locate and right-click your Nano and click Eject.
4. Leave the Nano plugged in.

What you should see on the Nano:

• The "Do No Disconnect" should be replaced by your ipod interface.
• The battery indicator should still flash and display the charing lightning symbol.
• You should be able to operate it normally.

Note: 1. Ejecting in the system tray did not work. From comments elsewhere on the internet, ejecting from the system tray cuts power to the associated USB port. 2. While digging I found a question about how this might affect your battery longterm. I didn't find any answers for it.
