It seems that with wifi, and things like it, you could use your laptop in, say, your living room, and use the speakers for your stereo or surround system. That would even sound better than desktop computer speakers, I would think. - Original Message - From: André van Deventer

Power from USB [was RE: Laptop speakers question]

I guess I have a different take on all of this. Contrary to what someone said early in the thread, the USB port was definitely designed to provide power to attached devices. Otherwise, the specification wouldn't have included this in the first place. In Wikipedia's definition of the Universal

Thanks for your help Bob. Your response brings me to two questions: First, when you transfer music are you using any special software or just doing it through my computer? Secondly, I've been through all the settings on the 520 and cannot find a setting to play all files. How does one find

I have both my HP printer and my Microtek scanner plugged into USB ports on the back of my 6-year-old Dell desktop, leaving two USB ports in front of the tower for convenient docking of flash drives and such stuff. No problems at all. Those devices, I believe, were meant to be powered
