What's the advantage of this over a free app (Sleep - Lite) I got for my iPOD touch? (I am trying to block alarm clocks, thumping, singing in shower)

I have not used the app sleep-lite, BUT I can tell you that I love the Nomad Sound Sleep Machine. The sounds it makes block out everything else and I sleep great.

Like asking what is difference between listening to music on your cell phone verses your home stereo. Not a comparison, apples and oranges.

Haven't used the free app but I do know this little machine is wonderful and I wouldn't hesitate to buy again. Sorry couldn't be more help.

i was using an old iPhone as an iPod touch and a bose blue tooth speaker and it was decent but not as good. The nomad speaker points at the ceiling and fills the room better, disguises noise better.If the iPod works well for you, then why buy something else. But if you are still being interrupted from noises you might want to try getting a sound machine.

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 connected my Ipod to a guitar amp. Crank it up in the a.m. Wakes up the kids. That is why I got it. Most PCs have a stereo jack for headphones, so this will work. The smaller end goes in the PC, bigger end in the amp. Crank the tunes, dude. Or movies, if that is what you like.

Even the App the Nexus ships with will work. You have to leave the computer on of course. I Prefer Wakevoice. It handles multiple mode alarms (different alarms by day of the week for example. And as the name implies, it talks once you turn off the alarm. It can deliver a message, read my daily agenda, News, etc.

Yeah, I love this thing. Perhaps you should contact the company that produces it. The sad thing is that it only plays one song as an alarm. So suppose I have a folder called MyMusic and it had 3 songs in it. I have to set the Alarm to play that one song. When the alarm goes off, it will play that one song over and over again until you shut it off. It will NOT advance to the next song. I hope that answers your question. I've asked the company who makes this to at least allow us to play the songs within a folder, but as of yet, i've not gotten a response. Perhaps if more ask, they will develop this feature.

The button at the top between the volume buttons will turn off the music/noise. The light will stay on unless you push the light button too. Dont use the alarm 1/alarm 2 buttons on the sides.

With the iPhone app installed, the clock syncs automatically when you dock. Same with alarms that you setup in the app.

I set my iPhone clock app to wake me up through the iHome iPL10. When the alarm turns on it is very faint then gradually increases in volume. Never "scares" me awake. Not sure if that is the iPhone clock app alarm or if it is the iHome that controls the gradual increase in volume. I have not used the integrated alarm on the iHome clock - but my guess is that the iHome controls the volume as well. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

Yes. I have a iPod Touch with lightning connector. The Sony is an excellent bedside alarm integrated with the the iPod. I highly recommend.

You can skip songs or whatever you have on your ipod/iphones/ipad. It just skips songs. I have one and it works excellent with my factory sound system

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, this is good for any device that has a USB charging cable. The docks have an opening to pull the correct cable through. Some people have complained the radio alarm is too loud, others have complained it is not loud enough. I sleep on the opposite side of the bed and this alarm was loud enough to wake me up; however, my husband complained it was not loud enough. In the end I am his alarm through kicking to wake him up. If you have issues alarms not being loud enough, get ready for a possible return or look elsewhere. My husband ended up purchasing a Sony dock station from walmart and it definitely startles me into a shocked state every morning. Yes, this is good for any device that has a USB charging cable.

You can tinker with a bit in parental settings, but it does not get much louder...much depends on the app you're running how loud it will get.

Runs Android applications and has swappable memory. IMO better than the iTouch, more flexibility! Most iOS apps have an Android counterpart, so why not do it right at get the PlayMG!?!?

If it has an alarm then I have not used it. It is a bluetooth iPod speaker system. I use it for music; and excellent sound system!William Boon

We use a summer infant slumber buddy that plays music for 30 minutes or so when our baby is going to sleep & the peep mode still works. I was skeptical it would work because the music is not that quiet & not as constant as white noise but it works just fine; the monitor goes dark & quiet like it's supposed to after a minute & only pops back on if she cries. Quite impressive actually!

Yes! You can play your songs and open other apps at the same time and it wont stop The músic.
