Tivoli Audio iSongBook (white)

I picked this up at Sears in May 09 for $50.00. I'm very happy with it's sound quality (does not distort when turned up ). The ability to run on AA batteries is a plus.

Portable-Runs on batteries-Great Sound

None at all

Tivoli Audio iSongBook (white)

Firstly this radio retails for around US $660 here in Australia, which is a huge investment in a portable radio. I bought a U.S. model on eBay for $240 deliverd and I'm more than happy with it's performance.

Attractive contemporary/retro hybrid design. Good stereo sounstage with detachable right side speaker. Solid construction, albeit plastic

Cost. Narrow design means it can be easily tipped (extra width would reduce portability). AM tuner not as capable of pulling in in weak stations as the FM

Tivoli Audio iSongBook (white)

I think CNET editor is not serious may be

Great sound and design. When I first look at the size and price I was skeptical but baught anyway and I'm verymuch satisfied. It took me 15 min. to take it out & hearing big, clean sound from my ipod

None. I love it

Tivoli Audio iSongBook (white)

I have always been a big fan of Tivoli products and just now got into using an IPOD. I think the combination of these two products is perfect. The great sound of the iSongBook, AM,FM reception long battery life and all of your favorite music on your IPOD.

Plugs into the radio and with the optional case it has a pouch for storage. Sound quality is great. These two compliment each other

None so far

Great Sound for low $$$!

I bought some Duracell precharge batteries and put them in this thing--now it charges up in an hour and plays all day. It charges my iPod when it's plugged in (unless you're listening to AM). All charging circuitry is switched off when AM radio is...

Excellent iPod Music System - So so alarm clock

Yes, it is indeed a great little player with excellent sound, given its size. As many have pointed out, it is lacking in strong bass, but the overall sound is warm, full and rich nonetheless. I can turn up the volume past my comfort level without...

Best iPod Dock I Found

If you're are looking for a small yet great sounding dock for your iPod you can'y go wrong with this model. I just love it. All my friends and family agree. I chose it after listening to all the high class competition. To my ears it was the best.

Sadly this is nothing but junk - worst radio reception of any radio

I have never owned a radio with worse reception. I am located in Boulder on University Hill, and I can not bring in ONE SINGLE station clearly. Not even close. Not even a clear but mono station even. I called Tivoli, and would be charged $70 to fix it....

Product Specifications

The ultimate iPod music system! Not just another "jump on the bandwagon" iPod audio system, the iSongBook brings new and innovative features to the table. The iSongBook utilizes the new "Universal Docking Station" from Apple that fits all iPod models. The flip-down dock charges your iPod while it plays and stows away when not in use. The second speaker detaches from the main unit for true stereo imaging, up to 6 feet with the built-in cord.The iSongBook also features an AM/FM tuner, 5 station presets, on-demand backlight, sleep timer and an alarm. Wake to a pleasant tone or to your iPod, the choice is yours. The credit-card sized remote controls all of the iSongBook functions, (except on/off), and many iPod functions, such as playlists and albums. There's a stereo headphone jack for private listening and an auxiliary input for use with other devices. The magnetically-shielded drivers allow for the iSongBook to be placed near or used with televisions or computers.The best part is the iSongBook is portable! It's small enough to fit in your backpack or suitcase and operates on 6 "AA" standard or rechargeable batteries. It even features a built-in battery charger. With all of these features packed into this "Made for iPod" product, why settle for anything less?
