In-car chargers - will they damage my MP3 player?

[bobr05]

Hi,
Does anybody know if I use a 5V, 0.8A adaptor plugged into my car's
cigarette lighter to charge my MP3 player (that is supposed to be
charged with a 5V, 1.6A charger), will it do any damage, to either the
MP3 player or the charger?
My guess is it should be OK, since the current output from the charger
is less than what the player can take, but a colleague reckons that
the player will try to draw more current from the supply and do some
harm to either it or the charger.
What do the experts think?
Many thanks.
Bob

OK, thanks to both of you. I'll just have to buy a correctly rated
supply - a load of melted plastic in my car isn't what I was looking
for!
Cheers.
