It will continue to charge if it remains plugged in to the USB port.

Thank you for telling me that the shuffle continues to charge even if the computer is off. Yet the orange light turns off so I thought it wasn't charging.

If the shuffle's light turns off, it is not charging. The computer needs to be active, so that the USB port has power. You'll need to set the computer so that it turns off the display after inactivity, but the computer remains "awake."

Or, you can get a USB power adapter, like this

and charge the shuffle on the power adapter.
