does it work even without an apple device? &amp; even without music?

I couldn't even get the device to play music and returned it. Very confusing.

The only way I know of to transmit music from an Apple device is via a Blue Tooth enabled transmitter. There are some on the market. However, when a music signal is transmitted via Blue Tooth it's sound quality is sacrificed to some degree.

No. The system is crap. Only the Bluetooth works. All other features are incomplete. CDs are not identified. You have to use a micro sub port then plug in the regular USB so you've got wires and converters hanging. Not iPhone compat either. Tried non Apple products and device and s still not found. Save your money and go for a better known brand.

I don't use I tunes but it will allow it from media played which is obviously native to most of the PC operating, sorry not an apple fan!

Cannot use it as speaker without music nor with your own music, a real drag! Must use their songs to do karaoke. It's definitely only Apple devices

Without smartphone such as iPhone or android, or iPad, this product doesn't work. Always iPhone/iPad/android is needed when use. No download function.

There's an iPhone app available from a 3rd party for $4.99 (but no audio). The web interface works with Safari / Chrome browsers, but no audio (at least I couldn't get it to work).

I'm not. It works well. They recently updated the firmware on all of the units, as well as the software for the desktop application on Macintosh. My app version is 4.0.18.6104. On my Bose SoundTouch 20 it is 4.0.14.14122. My iTunes library is in the standard location. The latest update includes streaming from some NAS devices, so you can stream music without the computer being on. So I guess I'd try to make sure everything is up to date first.

No. See details on other question about using this device (which is excellent) and iOS devices...

It only needs to be "hooked up" via blue tooth to your phone.I have to reboot my iPhone 4s prior to using it to get a valid result - this is due to the lack of "computing power" in the 4s. I also have an iPhone 5 which has no problems at all.

I personally do not have an iPhone, but I have an ipod touch 5 and it did not work.

Yes you can play your own music without the app. Plus it comes with a few different connectors for different apple products. So your iPod will work on this!! :) hope that helps!

From what I understand you can download without a PC. But I have not attempted it. I used it mainly to stream movies from a memory card to my iPad. Wish I could be more help.

It works with airplay technology which means that you can stream audio from apple devices and from iTunes in windows if the device is connected to the same network. It also has a 3.5 mm input, you would be able to use any audio device with the 3.5 mm input cable, it is not as comfortable as the wireless option (airplay) but it works.

Yes mine currently work with my phone (iphone 4s). for some reason at the moment I'm having a hard time having it switch songs. Other than that pause/play works, as well as holding it for Siri works for sure.

Actually, it doesn't fully work with my iPhone 4S either, despite the fact that the iPhone 4S has the old connector. The problem is the WiFi: once connected, Wi-Fi is disabled and you can only play music from the cellular network or music stored on the phone.
