For those who are looking at this product in hopes to buy it to play for all iPod formats, please DISREGARD ANYTHING THAT SAYS "SHUFFLE" for it does NOT play any format (versions 1, 2, or 3) of the iPod Shuffle. What this company had failed to mention is that this plays "the iPod and Shuffle (via separate mp3 player cord without dock insert but includes dock inserts for literally every other form of iPod that we haven't mentioned in the above sentence, except the Shuffle of course)." So if you're buying this to play all forms of your iPod collection and thought that the fact that the Shuffle was mentioned in the very TITLE and FIRST SENTENCE of the product description, please ignore it and save your money! Don't buy this FM radio and iPod and Shuffle-LESS product! It's a shame that you must enter a rating, for I was quite pleased with leaving it at 0.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great nano accessory, February 25, 2009

I purchased the iHome iH31B because I hate earphones which was the only way I could listen to the iPod nano my daughter gave me for my birthday. The sound is very good for a small boombox and it can run on AC, batteries or plugs into your car. My nano slipped right into the dock. After replacing the window and closing the cap, the iPod is completely inclosed. There are several adapters for different iPod styles included. The one thing that bothers me is the fault of the iPod, not the boombox: You must manually select the playlist you want to listen to before inserting the nano. The radio works as good or better than any other boombox radio I've ever used. I wish the remote control was included, but I can live without one (just more batteries to buy).

Overall a good boombox option for the $. Sound quality is OK with limited adjustment options. I do appreciate that the ipod is fully enclosed. My main complaint is that the player goes to sleep after fairly brief breaks in the music. If there is a slightly exagerated pause between tracks on your ipod, the boombox will nod out and then wake up after the next track starts causing you to miss the first second or so of music. Annoying but still a sturdy little boombox for the money.
