i got an mp3 player for Christmas. sony- charged by plugging into a usb port on the computer, great but don't want to redo the settings on my computer to charge the mp3 and don't want to spend $40 for a charger. so would like to know if i already have a spare power supply for a desk top computer could i wire up a usb port and use it to charge the mp3. i so on the net taco has a voltage suppresor to protect the mp3 from spikes, if i wire that in would that the all that is needed to set up my on seperate power supply?
thanks for any and all comments.
