Iphone charger, 1A.

Hello
I have a Iphone 3Gs with the original Iphone charger.
On the charger it says that it supply's  5V,1 A, and a normal computer usb-port supply's 5V,0.5 A.
Is it safe to use my mp3player with the Iphone charger?
On my mp3 players charger it sayd 0.5 A but I lost it.

Can my mp3 player's battery break if I use double the current that is recommended?

Question 2: If I buy those Iphone chargers on ebay, is it safe to use them on my Iphone?
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll

Question 2: If I leave my charger in the outlet will it still draw current?
Without any devices attached to it?

You can use the supply, it will only supply the current your appliance needs, if the voltage is the same

They can't send out more than USB voltages.
