Useful little ipod player March 24, 2010
Big (East Coast)
My wife had a player that was almost the same as this one by a different company and the volume up button broke, so I found this one to replace the old one. We use it in the bathroom, so it is a pretty confined space. This player does alright for what we use it for. The player will not replace a real stereo or even some of the other Ipod players (we have a different one for the bedroom which is more of a stereo) but if you are just looking to play your ipod somewhere this will work fine. The only thing I didn't like about this product was that it didn't come with an A/C adapter to plug it in to an outlet, but since we had the other player we just used that adapter with this one.

don't be fooled - this is NOT a charging base February 19, 2010

I ordered this for my mother for Christmas so that she could charge and play her new iPod nano at the same time while she's getting ready for work in the morning.

Except it doesn't charge her iPod.

And it requires batteries.

And of course, I didn't know any of this until about a month after Christmas, and she'd taken it home and been using it for a month.

REALLY disappointed in this purchase.

So, I visited my parents this weekend, and discovered the "charging" cable tucked away in the original box (which my mother had thankfully saved). It's a USB > mini-USB cable, so that you can hook the unit to your PC and allow the computer to power the unit and charge the iPod.

There is a spot for an AC adaptor, but it's "optional" equipment according to the owner's manual, and must be purchased separately. Boo.

Still not REALLY a charger, but she borrowed my dad's USB>AC adaptor and was able to plug into the wall, so at least she's not burning through a bunch of AA batteries anymore.

I'm upgrading the review to a 3 because it's got decent sound quality and a smallish footprint, but I think calling it a "charging base" is misleading at best.
