Is there a need for this if your iPod Touch is a few years old &amp; doesn't have an external speaker-have to play through headphones or a speaker device?

The egg beats speaker dock is for the iphone . The itouch is too thin and the sound won't carry through the speaker. (I've tried)

You need aux cable to play music, lightning connector will charge, but if you don't plug aux cable then music will only play through phone speaker and not car's

No easily accessible headphone out if thatvis what you're looking for. There is a line in and usb on top, so you can cable from an ipod headphone jack into the speaker as shown in the pic. There is a line out (rca jacks red/white) on the back though so an adapter cable could accomplish a headphone hookup

The 3.5mm audio line input jack allows you to plug in external devices to play your music through the speakers on this system. You can plug it in where you plug in headphones for the ipod and plug the other end into the boombox and it will play but will not charge while playing. I bought this for my niece a few years back and she said the ipod connection was loose and would not play if bumped. If you plug it in with the input jack that shouldn't be a problem but why buy one that won't charge your iPod? iHome makes decent docking stations.

It does not require an iPod, you can use a USB flash drive with music on it and it will play just fine. or you can connect whatever device of your choosing to it via USB.

The IPOD touch comes with in-ear headphones and a USB charging cable. I would recommend that you purchase a AC charging cable.

I plug my ipod in with a 3.5mm cable all the time. You can also plug in external speakers through RCA stereo plug ins. Older versions of this couldn't do that (my friend has the older version)

You can buy one specifically for an iPod touch, but they are more expensive. I use mine for an iPod touch, but because the speaker on it is on the opposite side as an iPhone speaker, I have to put it in backwards.

Yes, because you can run a simple audio cable from the headphone jack of the iPod directly into this unit. It may even come with such a cable, I forget, but they are readily available and low cost.

If your ipod has Bluetooth. I know iPhones have Bluetooth, not sure about the new iPod touch though, check your settings first.

The Eton speaker (like this one...but mine is about 10 years old, I think) I bought works great with my old U-2 special edition iPod...but not with my iPod Touch...the little adapters that came with it didn't help either. I tried buying some other apparatus after getting some so-called expert advice and ended up having to send the stuff back because that didn't work either. You might want to try those little single speakers...they're really small and usually spherical in shape. I have not found any small speaker system that I can play my iPod Touch on. Hope this was helpful.

Sorry for the delay. Here is an excerpt from the user guide; "...speaker plays MP3 stored on SD cards, MemoryStick, Multi-Media Cards or USB media. You can also use the audio input at the rear to connect your iPhone, iPod, smartphone, tablet or pretty much any other audio device to jam out."

you actually can use speakers for it. i have this, so i'd know. heres an awesome speaker with good bass:iHome iHM60 Rechargeable Mini Speakers for iPod (Blue) u can use docking stations, too, but youd have to reasearch some. you cant use the same plug as 4 the ipod nano, though. hope i answered your questions.-ipodloverofanykind

Ya you just need an aux cord for it. There is a USB port for it but it didn't charge mine could be different for yours depending on your iPod generation.

It will sound better than any dock as long as:1. Your music isn't overly compressed, which most people tend to do because the iPod headphone out is designed for garbage sound (portable ear buds basically) so no sense in wasting iPod storage space with larger files.2. You use the line out on your pod. Headphone connector will not sound good with this setup (or any setup really). Use the line out and the sound will be great though.
