I got some skullcandy headphones that come with an mp3 player in them which is a pretty sweet idea but I cant use them... PROBLEM: When I plug the usb to charge it and put songs on it, my computer freaks out and sais Power Surge On Hub Port ( it pops up 5 times) I need a form of super NS geek to help me out here so I can listen to my earphones.

your overloading your usb hub, try unplugging somethings from it, or unplug it completely and put the mp3 player directly into your computer.

more details: I have absolutely no other usb's or anything else plugged into my computer so that is not an issue. I cant plug the mp3 player right into it because its a part of the headphones so the way I do it is the way I am suposed to and it is the only way

do you have a relatively new computer? if not you may not have usb 2.0 which is probably what the mp3 player requires.
