Sleep &amp; Wake to IPod Music? With this unit, can someone fall asleep to their own ipod music (relaxing), and then also wake up to a different playlist of ipod music (upbeat)?

So, I actually have some roommates who can be rather noisy at night, if you catch my drift. It's mad annoying, so I've taken to trying to block it out when it happens. I can say that the noise isolation (with no music) is solid, but not incredible. But honestly, it's about as good as any non-fitted pair of earplugs I've tried. If you combine that with actually playing some really light music (I literally put my iPod on the lowest volume setting it can go), then usually you're in good shape. The only downside is that you've got earplugs in while you sleep. Which means you either have to sleep entirely on your back (which I can do sometimes). Orr... I take one out, sleep on my side, and keep the other one in. This also works decently well since my ear without an earplug is in the pillow, and thus solidly blocked from sound. Also, for music, I recommend chill instrumental music. I've tried other things, but have occasionally been woken up by random parts of a song that get loud.

The unit sounds amazing. It does come with several different adapters for the other ipods. I can't say with certainty that yours is one of them. But, Amazon has a good return policy.

I do not know which generation Ipod I have (5 years old) but it does function properly except for the charging indicator. My ipod is always plugged in, but when wokeup shows ipod battery is low. This does not affect how I use the unit-basically a storage/playback unit for my cd collection. I think they showed a compatibility chart in the online manual?

Gary, I was hoping to hear from you!!I left it off overnight - when I turned it on in the morning, it resumed (was in pause) at the same song that I have been listening to the night before. I needed only to press pause to resume!Hope this helps you.Happy to assist...these forums are wonderful!Jerry

wish I knew for sure so I could help you... my son puts his Ipod in the Luna Clock and does use the XtremeMac app for clock syncing purposes. But, for example, when he plays music from the Ipod, it certainly does play through the Luna Clock... so do you think the Iphone Alarms would play through the speakers the same way? I would think, but i don't know for sure. Good luck

Fussy About Clock Radios,If you are looking for an iPod that does not need headphones then I suggest looking out for an iPod Touch. As far as I know they are the only type of iPod that headphones are not a needed item, but the sound quality drops to only okay.iPod docks do have speakers. They also charge your iPod (depending on what type of dock). Some docks can even function as an alarm clock. I hope this helped.Godspeed!~SWWPD

Yes, it works just like all iPods. It will reset the shuffle after adding new songs, but it starts right where you left off when you stopped playback and/or charge it.

Here's the dowside of using a Shuffle to listen to books - it is really easy to accidently lose your place in the book. When this happens, it's a pain-in-the-neck to get back to where you were. I know you can lock the shuffle so this doesn't happen but then it's a hassle to pause it if, say, someone wants to talk to you. I have used a Nano for about 4 or 5 years mainly to listen to books. There are several advantages besides being able to see on the screen exactly where you are in the story. I love the sleep timer feature. I set it for 15 minutes and if I happen to fall asleep, I don't run the battery down and I know I only have to go back, at most, 15 minutes. This is not something you can do with a Shuffle.

Yes, you can play your own music/audiobooks/podcasts from your iPod. However, you also have to crank up the volume to listen from the iPod. While average volume setting for regular radio play is 12, for iPod audio I have to use at a minimum a volume setting of 22 but it can go as high as 34 (for listening to classical music and some audiobooks). P.S.: I had gone to the Apple store to have the iPod checked but the volume settings are in order.

If you are trying to fast forward through a song, i don't think so,,if you can it's a feature I haven't found. If you mean skip to the next song, Yes. If you mean fast forward through a video I belive so. I like the radio feature that the ipod does not have ipod.

You will need to adjust the volume manually for wake up. You can wake up to your iPhone through the speakers. You could wake to a song that starts out soft and builds. Save the 200 bucks, Sound is great.

Personally, I would rather have an independent sleep machine rather than one linked to an iPOD. However, try out the free app, and if it works for you, great. Since using my Nomad on the white noise setting, I don't hear cars on the driveway above me and people talking on the outside deck next door. The Nomad works great for me and I am going to buy another one to have in reserve because companies are always changing products that I like.

The sound quality is fine if you are not an audiophile. I don't know what a 7th generation iPod is or how it differs from the classic iPod, which I have. This product does not have an alarm function as far as I know, but then I didn't buy it for that, so haven't checked it out for an alarm function.

I USED to be able to do that but it no longer is working. I was wondering if it were my iPod but nothing seems wrong with it. Using my iPod to play music through this unit is still working fine but I bought it for the precise purpose of using it as a larger screen for watching videos from my iPod. Anyone have suggestions? I loved it when it was working properly.

It doesn't really stay in dock mode for me. If it actually goes into dock mode, and you have a music shortcut on the dock screen (which can be customized) you can play music through the speakers while charging. But if you end up pressing the home key and taking it out of dock mode, it stops playing through the apeakers and the you'll have to undock/redock again to play through the speakers. Its really annoying. If you end up getting this dock and figure out a fix, please let me know!

Hi Coffee Lover, by the way i love coffee too and recently bought my coffee grinder, it's another level of flavor. Ok, the iPod. You must use a chosen music list to charge into it. Then you have that forward and rewind buttons that can choose the music in the sequence you've recorded from your computer. There's a shuffle option too and a voice button that speak (that kind of robot voice) the music title been played. The advantage is not the way the equipment pick the music, but the size and how easy it is to use to run, do sports, etc.
