Hi Mary Excellent description. Just to add that if you want to charge a mobile device then you have to hold in the battery indicator button for about 7 seconds and this will activate the charging function. I haven't used it so I don't know if you can still play music while charging but I've turned it on and off. The only way to tell that it is indeed charging the device is from the screen of the mobile device itself.
