Here's the dowside of using a Shuffle to listen to books - it is really easy to accidently lose your place in the book. When this happens, it's a pain-in-the-neck to get back to where you were. I know you can lock the shuffle so this doesn't happen but then it's a hassle to pause it if, say, someone wants to talk to you. I have used a Nano for about 4 or 5 years mainly to listen to books. There are several advantages besides being able to see on the screen exactly where you are in the story. I love the sleep timer feature. I set it for 15 minutes and if I happen to fall asleep, I don't run the battery down and I know I only have to go back, at most, 15 minutes. This is not something you can do with a Shuffle.

No cassette; 5 cd player Play up to 5 discs with this one audio system from RCA listen to the AM/FM radio, or connect your iPod or other mp3 player to this bookshelf stereo system.

Yes, just use the cd output. You can pick up.the audio cable at walmart for your ipod.

Get ANYTHING except a ipod and you'll have no problems syncing or transferring mp3s. I recommend getting a cheap $20 player, so when it breaks(and it will) you're not out a crapload of money. Also, you don't have the problem of itunes deleting your music like it has been known to do.

If you play only cd's or mp3's all you need is a receiver, two speakers, speaker cables and an ipod. If you don't use mp3's you don't even need the ipod. If you want a little more punch to your sound you could add a power amp and surround sound, but those are definitely not necessary.

4gb The ipod is cool but the only thing that's sucks is that u need headphones that can turn the volume up on it because u can't on the ipod it self.

I have copied numerous books from CD into ITunes and then synced them to my IPod. I assume that copying Audible books is similar. Check out this page: http://www.audible.com/dc

Yes, you can play your own music/audiobooks/podcasts from your iPod. However, you also have to crank up the volume to listen from the iPod. While average volume setting for regular radio play is 12, for iPod audio I have to use at a minimum a volume setting of 22 but it can go as high as 34 (for listening to classical music and some audiobooks). P.S.: I had gone to the Apple store to have the iPod checked but the volume settings are in order.

My husband had downloaded cds on the computer and my son was able to transfer those among other music to his ipod. So i would say yes if your tech savvy!!

Absolutely! I use Audible.com and love the way everything loads to my ITunes app to put on the IPod.

Good point. I don't really see any huge differences between ipod and Zune except for the radio thing. I used to love to listening to the radio but when I bought my iPod I only listened to the morning shows because all the songs I wanted to listen to were on my iPod and I didn't have to get through commercials to listen to them. So I guess if you just absolutely need you a radio, get a zune. However, I'm not a fan of the Marketplace. The subscription service sucks. If you get rid of it all you songs go too. But if that's just what you're looking for then more power to you.

Using the "Aux In" RCA jacks in the back of the unit, you can hook up a cd player/changer OR an iPad (using a special cable)...there is a USB port in the back of the unit as well; however the manual states "play music from USB flash drive...". I have not tried to plug in my iPod and play through the unit, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hope that helps.

While Audible.com cost money, I bought this player (over IPod knowing an IPod is *FAR* superior) because the library near me allows free viewing only if the device supports Windows PlaysForSure media format.Translation: If you buy an IPod the device is great but the books are costly. If you buy this, the device is OK, but the books are *free*.

Great Queston! My Wife gave me an Ipod for Christmas, I have around 1,000 cd's, I've almost loaded all of them on my computer. My Ipod is less than half full, my computer is maxed! I want to load more!
