Does the Sonos iPod dock require your computer to be on? If the Sonos dock is connected to your wifi network, but the computer is not turned on, will docking your iPhone still allow you to play music?

no...your computer can be off...the dock only plays music from an inserted ipod/iphone/itouch

Yes. I have a Bose Sound dock I and i have to take out the case in order for it to play. But i'm not really bothered by it. It's a small sacrifice for having a nice ipod protector.

This speaker doesn't have docking option. Pair you iphone with this bluetooth speaker and play music from itunes or pandora.

Your I Pod or I pad plays the music from I tunes. your music will play from your devices while it's docked and charging though.

1. How does the dock connect to an AC outlet? There is an AC adapter that has a USB port. You plug the sync cable into the USB port and the other end into the dock. 2. How does the dock connect to a stereo? One end of the audio/visual cable is the yellow/red/white connectors and the other end of that cable is the 1/8" (headphone) connector that connects to the dock. It has four connectors to support video and audio. 3. Can I connect the dock to my stereo using a cable with 1/8" connectors on each end (rather than using the supplied audio/visual cable)? I don't know for sure but I suspect so. At worst, you can get an RCA to 1/8" adapter to put on the other end of the supplied cable. 4. When the Zune is in the dock, do I have to unplug the headphones to get sound through the dock? No, you can leave them in. However the buzz from the sound of them can be heard if you up the volume via the zune instead of the stereo. This is tempting to do because of the remote for the dock. The antenna for the FM radio is the headphones so you might need to leave them in to get remote stations. I don't like the buzz so I put in a 1/8" double-ended cable to act as the antenna when the Zune is docked because we listen to the radio a great deal. For us it is mostly docked, so this works for us. If we took it about, we'd probably just leave the headphones in.

There is no app. When you connect your iPod to the dock, the dock speakers are used by the iPod.

You play everything through the sonos app, but the app connects to the other services to play the music - it doesn't import anything. I play my Amazon stuff, Beats music, Deezer, etc. - the app connects to each one as it needs to. If the app doesn't know how to connect to a service, you can't play from it, but sonos connects to most that I've heard of (there's a list on the sonos web site), or it will play from a hard disk on your home network.

Only apple products that use the original charger can be docked, unless you buy the pin converter for newer devices. You can play music from any device with an auxiliary port/headphone jack.

When I set up my Sonos Connect it was my only component so an Ethernet cable was required. If you have another Sonos component already connected to the internet then the Connect could be used with WiFi. As far as I know at least one of the Sonos components requires an Ethernet connection.

Sorry...No. The Sonos dock has the old school connector. You might be able to use an adapter, but I cannot say that it will support the phone properly. I am not happy that Sonos chose to discontinue making docks, when the lightning connector came on board. They always doubled as great charging bases.

Yes you can. Remember that its not a docking station, need to connect with blutooth or cable. Just set up and have plyed music via blutooth from i-phone and laptop and via cable from i-pod classic. Great sound and easy to use.

Wow! I've only used it on the Apple TV. If it works on the iPod, you won't need the docking station.

Yeah. I've set it up where I have an iPod dock plugged into a wall charger and speakers with the adapter on the dock. I use it with my iPhone and my computer, and they both work great. Just be sure to un-pair the device you're not using, so you can use the other device.

I am not sure what sound dock is, but I connect my iphone 5 to it using Bluetooth with no issues. The Bluetooth range is good I keep my iphone in the kitchen and the speaker is two rooms away in my living room.

I am not sure. I got the dock because we have older versions of Ipod. Actually, I just realized, no it would not fit an iphone 5c because it it not Lightening pin. it is the larger pins from the older ipods. You maybe be able to check with Sonos to see f they have a newer model. One thing to keep in mind, you could stream music from your iphone, computer, ipad by downloading the app from Sonos. I do this now as well as use the ipod dock. Sonos is a wonderful music system. Very cool and easy to use.

Does your Ipod have bluetooth? If so you can connect to the speaker. Does your ipod have audio files stored on it? Then you don't need Internet for the audio stored on the device.
