Depends. If it's charged directly via USB then yes, as the PC's USB port supplies the power to the USB port to which the MP3 player is connected. You can however buy AC to USB, meaning you plug the USB end into the player and plug the other into a mains outlet. In this setting your mains supplies the power, and so no PC is required. Hope this helps.
