Hi,
I have an ipod mini and was wondering if i plug it in with the usb into a windows computer without itunes will it still recharge and will it do anything to the music on my ipod?
 
it should still recharge. i'm not sure about wat happens on macs, but say i plug in a different ipod onto my pc, it just asks me if i want to synchrinize the ipod with the library i have on the pc...i just say no and it keeps charging.
 
It will. Just to make sure, I plugged it into my Linux box with no iTunes-related software on it, and it appears to be charging right now. I've also had luck at work being able to charge it on a USB 1.1 port on my Linux system at work. Music also plays fine through it oddly enough...

[EDIT]
Oh yeah, it didn't change any of my music on my nano, so it should be fine.
 
There is a "known issue" with charging USB on PCs. Apparently it has do something with USB drivers and supplying the right voltage.

Might be total bullshit, but the guy at the Genius Bar mentioned it -- maybe they wanted to sell some wall chargers.
 
I charge my Nano at work, and I don't have iTunes installed. It tries to run the new hardware wizard each time, but that's not a big deal.
