Can I plug in a 5th generation iPod Touch via USB and play music that way? I have found that Bluetooth music output is very weak compared with USB.

You should be able to. I have used 4S and 160gig and that works well. The blue tooth on the box is an abomination, the worse sound and even worse set up. I use the Aux jack 3.5. very disappointed in the product.

Because later model iPods/iPhones and iOS versions have shown compatibility problems. I connect mine via aux input to airport streaming audio from iTunes/computer. If you want to play audio directly from dock, you may have problems

Yes, if you are using the iPod as the music source. In this case, your iPod would have to be plugged into the 3.5 MM input of the unit.

Anyone tried this with an ipod touch 5th gen (with 30pin to lightning adapter)?

All iPods should work if you have it plugged into the USB port in the front. But do you mean the 5th generation touch, nano or the old classic?

I'm sorry. I don't own an iPod 5 so I can't really tell you if that would work or not. There is a USB connector that comes with it and it does work with an iPod though. I'll try to borrow someones iPhone 5 and I'll try it put and let you know :)

I play my ipod through the usb port it has. I have not yet bought the ipod adapter because the usb port works fine

I'm fairly certain that this works with all newer devices that have bluetooth. I don't know if the 5th gen ipods touch has bluetooth though...

I was curious if this would work with the 3rd Gen iPod Touch myself, since I was looking for a good speaker dock that could go along with that. I've owned Logitech speakers in the past for my PC and HDTV, and wanted to see how well they would do with the newer iPod Touch units. I'm just as hopeful as you are that these will indeed be compatible and not let anyone down.

This cable will not work, since the ipod touch 5th generation requires a Lightning connector instead of the original iPod/iPad connector... You would have to find an A/V cable that supports the new connector.

I don't own a Touch, but my understanding is if you music is loaded on a USB drive, you can plug it directly into the Touch and no computer is required. Of course, if your music library is on a computer the computer needs to be on to access your music.Feel free to slam me if this is incorrect. :) Take a thread "USB Drive Connectivity" for more info.Interface does not fail again.

Plug in to listen music ? Of course, but I use blue tooth for that purpose. Very simple and easy. Actually I use iPod touch but it is the same as iPhone.

I have an Iphone 5 and it works fine. It utilizes Bluetooth technology so as long as your phone or MP3 player has Bluetooth it should be able to pair with it. I have also used mine with a fourth generation IPod touch. It is a great speaker and I never get to use mine as much because my daughter always has it. Enjoy it.

Bluetooth connection must be maintained to play songs. It doesn't download anything if that's what you're asking. I use pandora, spotify and iTunes on my iPhone 5

Yes, you can, you can use either USB inputs for iPods, or thumb drives, or for the included Bluetooth adapter, the choice is yours.

From all I have read, you must get a stereo type of bluetooth in order to listen to music in it. Call Apple about it.

Because Ipod 5 has a smaller Adapter port, im not sure what systems work for it, do research online, the only other option is using the Headphone jack and use a double sided cord to plug into most standard systems
