People I??d like to know if the way I??m using my iPod + HP at home is right.
Well, as I am at home I dont use iPod??s power from battery. I prefer plug the power adapter (with the baterry fully or not fully charged ) and use my ipod always this way, saving the battery for street listening .
So, my really doubt is: when the baterry is fully charged, is there any problem to leave the adaptor pluged in(for hours)?

No there is no harm in doing this. The Li-Ion batteries that are used in many DAPs including the iPod have smart technology, and will not accept a charge once the player is fully charged, therefore not damaging it..

Ok, I understand this point about not damaging the battery but, how about this:
If after fully charged I keep listening to my ipod with the AC still pluged. So, if I do this, isnt like I am draining the battery and charging it at the same moment ? In this case maybe its not good to th battery or still isnt a problem "using" the ipod fully charged and still with the AC pluged?
