No it will not. At least with an MP3 player. I have tried it with my Sansa Sandisk 4 gig MP3 player. I may have done something wrong, though. But I would recomend trying it with an iPod, and putting the roots in the drink.
... Sorry but yes it does charge an iPod, you have to use a screwdriver to poke a hole in the onion on each side so that the Gatorade can get inside the onion. Place the onion in the cup with the holes facing the Gatorade wait 30 minutes then remove the onion, dry it off then place the usb drive into the onion. The electrolytes from the Gatorade break down the individual cells of the onion causing the onion to release excess energy that is electric. If completed properly the onion contains 1.5 volts which is enough to charge the iPod using the usb drive. I am currently using this as my science fair project so i know quite a bit about this experiment.

Make sure you plug it in properly, or no electricity will flow through the cord to charge the iPod Touch. Check the cable you are using to charge it, too, since faulty cables will not charge iPod Touches.
