I am going to Spain in 7 days and i am taking my ipod and travel speakers. I know that the ipod wont last 2 wks without a charge so can i do it while im there? Can i charge it using a normal 3 pin plug, plugged into the travel plug? I dont know what the voltages are out there so can anyone help me please. I cant bear the thought of having no music to listen to while im away. Thankyou

Yes it will work (you will probably need to buy an international plug adapter (buy one in the highstreet before you go much cheaper than the airport or tourist resort)). A more cunning technique is to take a plug adapter (say 2/3 way with UK plug sockets whic you connect into the interantional adapter and connect your British plugs to the 3 way adapter) That way round you need the one international adapter.
any device / power supply for products sold in the UK will work in Europe (Power supplies in Europe were hamonised at around 230 volts (UK & Ireland used to be 240V, France & many other Countries were 220V)
look on the power supply if its a true international power supply it should say something similar to
"Input 110-240v ~xxxamps 50-60Hz"
if it doesn't say 110V then its not going to work anywhere where there is a US style power supply (USA, Canada). If your IPOD PSU doesn't say that then you will need to et a replacement PSU if you want to travel further abroad say to North & South America. The PSU on my creative MP3 player is a true multinational PSU - another good reason to avoif overpriced IPods in my view.....

I charged my phone in Spain using my charger in a travel plug and it worked fine, so I would imagine that you can do the same with an iPod.

you want a plug adapter for the european sockets which take 2 around pins. examine your chargers and you will probable locate that all of them say one hundred ten/220v or one hundred twenty/240v which ability they are going to artwork on 220 with out transformer.

providing you have a mains adaptor for your ipod, they do not come as standard. Alternatively, look for a USB mains charger (for a mobile fone or similar) that will do the trick when used with your ipod cable

You can, I use a travel plug all the time on mine.

You'd need a world charger.
