[Apple iPod] Re: Battery indicator

Yes it will charge and play in the car when in the situation that you
describe first below.
You can't plsay it whilst plugged into your laptop because in that
situation it wants to synchronise, not play. The iPod is designed to
play, away from the computer and the computer to also play independently.

I have an adapter that plugs into the DC Power outlet in the car, and

But if I have the iPod plugged into my laptop, I can't play the iPod.
Not a problem, but I wanted to make sire that if all the iPod is
getting in the car is charging power, I'd be able to play it while
that was happening. It appears it's something worth trying.
Thanks.
