Is this for kids only? I hear a lot about it being for kids? Is it easy to use and do I need an ipod to use it?

No it isnt just for kids..we have a blast with it. You dont need an ipod to use it...it plays regular cds as well as cd+g cds (which is usually what karaoke cds are formatted as)

yes..... i love mine. this is the third one ive bought, both of my previous players were lost and stolen. The only feature that i find has any hinderances, is to configure a video to play on the player. The movie or video must be a certain format to play. a plus is tha fm radio, which a ipod does not have.

Yes it is. If you are not tech head like myself this is easy to use. Easy enough to use that my 12 year old can download music into it. Nothing fancy, just very straightforward.

It's probably great for kids. They are so tech savvy. I still haven't figured out all the things that it does. Took me awhile just to figure out how to shut off the flash. LOL

Thanks for the suggestion! Since I didn't get my first ipod touch until age 46, I think 8 is a little too young. I also am not happy with unrestricted internet access for an 8-year-old. But I do appreciate the suggestion.

I have a 2nd generation Nano, a 3rd generation Nano Shuffle and now a 6th generation Nano. I mostly use them for exercise and the 3rd generation is absolutely the best of all. It's the easiest to use because the controls are on the headphones so you can change songs with a press of the button. Because it's so compact, I can clip it to my clothing so I barely realize I have it on. The 2nd generation with the trackwheel can be a pain to exercise with. I haven't used the 6th generation Nano enough to really comment yet.

Ya you just need an aux cord for it. There is a USB port for it but it didn't charge mine could be different for yours depending on your iPod generation.

I highly recommend the Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Music Player with Microphone for kids. It is a music player with a microphone. It is expensive (about $50), but has served us incredibly well over the past 6 years with two small boys. Amazon doesn't seem to have it at the moment, but check other places. For something smaller and cheaper - try B. Okideoke Microphone (about $15 on Amazon). It will project sound, plays songs and records. Good for the small ones...

It is very easy to use... No need to connect it to Tv all time...you can connect it to ur smart phone, iPods or karaoke DVD and enjoy it.�

I have had my iPod for many years and it works nicely with it. You need to use earphones to hear it. My ipod predates iPads.If you want the exact year let me know.

Sorry, I have no experience in using this device on adults or children. The item is a first for me.

The Ipod Controls are some what lacking, the most frustrating part to me is that if you search by artist it does not asllow you to select individual albums within that artist, if you want to listen to a specific album you have to select it through the albums search folder. This would not be a major problem, but like someone already said, if you have 1000 artist and 2 or 3 even 5 albums per artist, that makes for a long list to go through.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

I think you can upload different songs to it but not sure you can connect it to play an MP3 or iPod. If you google reviews you can find some on YouTube that are pretty thorough. My daughter likes the songs it comes with;). Good product haven't had it break yet.

There are few apps that come with it, but they are very basic, lame and boring (like Pets, drawing/coloring). I never bought apps on it yet. My son who is almost 2 prefers to play with my iPad it's more fun and interesting plus you get a lot more apps for free from Apple. I'm not sure how old your child is but I do not recommend it.

thank you. it would be for a kid to listen to in their room. What are closed headphones? Ones that completely cover the ear? Are iPod ear buds considered closed?thx

I think this camera will be great for a 10 year old. It's basic,easy to use. Rechargeable battery with charger. Its fun and so small it really does fit in your pocket.. Of course being so small will the 10 year keep track of it? I love it,alot of fun to use.
