I just spoke with an Apple rep as I am also frustrated with Cover Flow. He said to: (1) plug my ipod into my computer / iTunes(2) go to my nano's Summary page (where you can see the storage space or refresh the unit, etc)(3) click on the Music tab(4) uncheck Display Artwork-- I hope that helps!

Hey! Thanks for the reply!Just give it a try and let me know if it works. I still haven't bought it (because of the cover flow issue) but if that method works, then I'm definitely getting it :D

FYI: Apple just released a SW update that adds an option to toggle CoverFlow mode off completely.

I never turned it off, but found that I had to turn it on almost every time I got in the car. I used it to stream Pandora and liked the sound and the ability to skip tracks using the buttons. However, having to hold the button down for 5 seconds to turn it on got to be annoying very quickly. I searched the Internet to see if there was a modification or setting so that it would turn on automatically when power is applied, but could not find a solution so I've stopped using it in the car.

I really don't know but the play/pause button doesn't work as should be... What really do is to pass to the next song so you can't pause anything... Aat least not with the device... Well, thats happens to me, but after all I'm really happy with the device because is really cheap, has many pluses and found only one little problem. That's all I can say about, hope it will help you to make your choice and good luck!!!

You have to "dig" the asymmetry. The other "gotcha" is the volume control is just a rheostat type. It does not tell the iPod to increase or decrease the volume setting. I like he pink.

When you close the cover it turns itself off as well as stops my IPod music player.

I just tested it, and yes, it can be charged in the cover. I use kind of odd charger and I take it out. I noticed that others made comments about it being difficult to get the iPod in and out of the Snugg. I didn't find it to be difficult. So, taking it out to charge isn't a big deal to me. Thanks for reminding me to charge :)

It will shut off, if your cig lighter shuts off when the key is off. The Ipod stays on for a while, until the auto shut off kicks in.

You will need to change the setting on the iPad, I settings. My doesn't always stay off so I have to make sure the cover is actually closed.

Hi, Ms. Monahan - the Touch Control can not be turned off but it has different settings which include soft - medium or Hard! - But it didnot affect my playing ability, It's Sounds Terrific - Up to this DAY!

My experience was that I did just that....plugged in my ipod cord and played the music, no extra app required. However, two things happened: a) the ipod's battery was depleted (for some reason, I expected one of the two-pronged cords would provide a charge) and b) the system's preset buttons became unresponsive to the touch. I unplugged the ipod and reset the preset buttons and I've had no problems at all since then (several months ago) - however, I haven't bothered to use the ipod since then. It may have had nothing at all to do with b).....

Yes you can. I've never done it but I know many who have. A couple of the previous generations didn't remember where you paused your audiobook, which was a nuisance, but apparently the 7th Gen Nano has fixed that :)

No interior screen protection - you slide in the iPod, and there are openings on the side for volume control. The screen protection comes when the case is closed, which will probably be the case when the iPod is in use, so an interior protection is unnecessary. FYI. There are headphones available with iPod controls, so you can leave the pod in the case closed and still forward and reverse tracks without touching the iPod.

Yes the time still displays. Sometimes the album covers appear on the IPOD but other times I can't get them to appear. Don't know why. Anyone else know why? Sometimes have a hard time docking it.

With this iPod adapter the up down (left side) controls the song selection. The song playing is displayed on the center gauge info area. This will not help if your up/down button is malfunctioning but it does allow control from steering wheel controls

Not the version I purchased. However, I believe there is an audio auxiliary plug-in where you could connect any music device. I returned this product because it kept turning off automatically after like 10 minutes unless you actively do something (like change the volume, change the song, etc). It seemed like it was a built-in standby function that couldn't be deactivated. A stereo should not have this feature.

I struggled with this also, but it's actually super easy...it just slides apart. Use your thumb and index finger and hold the sides above the clip, and use the same hold in the middle of the bottom piece and then pull apart! Hope this was helpful. It's a really wonderful band, and I didn't have issue with the headphone jack as others did. Once I got it open and the Ipod inside, I was very happy I made the purchase!
