I like my Sharp a lot ! And it is the latest in a long history of boom boxes. It has a great deep bass sound and gets LOUD !However, I am not too happy with the radio reception (NPR). It is very big,for a shelf type unit. I still like my older Sony Z-plod units. So I would consider cost, size, and use. the Sharp would eat a lot of batteries if off grid. But I do like it ! Might take some getting used to.

I had good experience connecting IPod to Logitech Boom Box player (around 300$) You can play everything you have on the Pod. But......If you qould install wireless, or wired, eathernet connection, you have all the music you can handle with thousands radio stations available (the Boom Box has great speakers on board). Enjoy It!

Look at the Yamaha CD-600 - it will play MP3 and WMA. It also as a USB port to accommodate iPods & flash drives. Yamaha CD-C600BL 5-Disc CD Changer (Black)

I don't actually know but I think you need to just buy a turntable and amplifier and hook a CD player to your setup. I'm a granny too, but I think this is more state-of-the-art as it has an Ipod dock. I think you can find a better system for your needs.

Jonathan, I'd suggest visiting the company's page at www.cowonamerica.com, which (to me) seems to indicate that you get earbuds, an A/C adapter, a small plastic snap-on docking port called a "subpack" (which costs $9 to replace and is necessary to download your tunes to the player), the necessary cables, and the softward CD. Anything else, including a remote, may be purchased for a few (or not so few) extra bucks.

I finally went Apple TV instead.. found great deals in their refurb selection. Does all the internet radio stuff (albeit fewer stations, but it's got my faves.. npr, WMVY, etc), as well as stream my iTunes library, music, podcasts, tv shows, movies... works with air tunes & remote speakers.. basically more features for cheaper price.

I use an iPod Classic (older model 20gb) and it works fine. I do not have an iPhone but play my Zune through the aux input. I also have a Google phone (Nexus 5) and play it through the aux input with good fidelity. The sound is very good and I don't play my Bose 901's in the living room anymore because the dock is so convenient and so good. I like th price/value factor of the Altec Lansing docks. I still have my first one playing in the basement...Nice!

Anything with the apple 30 pin connector will sit in the dock. The connector folds in and anything else can use the aux jack

You can connect your Sirius radio too this unit. You would have to hook up through the Aux. BUT, what I've been doing is I bought the 30 pin adapter from Apple so I could play and charge, my 5th generation I-pod too the top, and I have the Sirius APP. on my iPod, so I can play my Sirius account through this Yamaha unit. **Also, the look and build is awesome on this unit. I use as a bedside clock/radio. Cheers :)

I wouldn't know because I did not buy item. Somehow my review of the ipod 160 gigabyte 7th generation got put in the reviews of the switch-easy. The only dock system I use is for my Kicker speaker system and am sorry I can't help

Works great with my x5 2001. Plays pandora also. When playing an album, you can use the steering wheel button to advance tracks. Also works with iPhone 5 when using the $40 apple interface cable

This dock should work for that. It will play through an aux input, and even includes a cable for it.

That is up to you. It works both ways. I like using my iPod Classic to control music. When using the stereo, you are limited on searching for music. I have to say the USB port works very well. I love it. Sometimes just load up a USB memory stick plug it in and enjoy the sounds.
