I think they are not. But the firewire port is. Use that.

Whoops! I read the original post, but "shuffle" zipped right over my head. Sorry.

Or get a powered USB hub. That should allow charging even when the computer is off.

You can also get a compact AC Shuffle charger on eBay for less than $10. I have one and it works like a champ. They are available at other online stores as well. However, I wouldn't buy Apple's overpriced charger. $29 is too much!
