Hi dave holte,
It should be through the USB port, I don't think any players nowadays have separate ports for charging. Nevertheless, check if there is any port other than the headphone and the USB, because it never hurts to check. Does the computer recognize the device when you plug the mp3 player into the USB? It might be loose connection as well. Or maybe it is not set to be recognized as an MTP or Plug-and-Play device. Once you have it plugged in, go to My Computer (I'm assuming you are on PC) --> Device Manager and then scan for new hardware changes. Probably then you have to manually install the device and its drivers. But do check for the loose connections. Ask back if it doesn't work.

SanDisk Sansa Express 2 GB MP3 Player (Black), battery status states 14% critically low....what does it mean and what actions should I suppose to do?

You need to charge the battery so you can continue playing your MP3player.
Connect the supplied USB cable into the player and then plug it into the USB port of your computer. The computer will charge up the MP3 player and you can also copy mp3 music and photos etc to the MP3 player.

Not charging

Try connecting directly to USB port on your computer, NOT a hub. It needs power to charge.

When i connect my sansa clip 2gb it will not charge. it say connected and then goes off. I thought it was charging but when i checked it the battery had died what do you suggest i do to get it working...

Hi,
Check for the following:

USB Cable 
Make sure that the USB cable is properly plugged in and use the original cable. 

Computer in Hibernation mode 
Make sure the computer isn’t entering hibernate or sleep mode while the device is connected.  The computer must be on in order to charge your player. 

USB Port 2.0 
Make sure the player is connected USB 2.0 port (1.1 occasionally causes charging problems). 

USB Port location 
Try plugging in different USB port (i.e. USB port in the back of the computer); sometimes the front USB ports have problem charging up the device. 

Battery 
Make sure the battery is fully charged.  It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the battery. 

Latest firmware 
Make sure to update firmware by downloading and installing the Sansa Firmware Updater

Lost my USB Connector cord

Every electronis store should have one such as 'The Source'
Or look through your "computer drawer", alot of other things like digital cameras have one.

If you have a specific USB cord you might have to contact American Anko by calling support.

Brand new Samsung YP-K3 charging FOREVER..

well have had my k3 die on me once, pressed reset on the back and it worked again (this in the it doing nothing anymore case) as for the cgarging thing try it on another computer, when I charge my k3 at work it charges all day but I don';t get a full battery, at home I charge it for bout 2 to 4 hours to get full battery. I think it has something to do with ho many things u have connected to ur usb ports or how much output ur computer gives to ur usb, maybe it goes to like a lower voltage to preserve electricity, no idea how to change this but unplug unneccecary things.
