Hi,
My first post so please be gentle!
My friend has recently bought an MP Man MP FOL7 MP3 player for his daughter, to take on a trip, around Europe.
This is not really suited to travelling, as the only means of charging is via a USB socket.
There are to my knowledge no external, or in-car chargers available for this model.
If he were to purchase a powered USB hub and left the data cable out would it safely charge the mp3 player.
I have tried it on my powered hub and it works fine but i still have the data cable connected (too worried i will muck it up, to remove the data cable).
If this is ok, i will have to buy one for him tomorrow as he leaves on Thursday.

Thanks in advance.
