I've got my iDog running off of my laptop computer. All the iDog is, is a speaker and LED light show. It's compatible with any music player that has an out jack. You can also just place him near your speakers, and he will work just as well.

You and drop files in however for some reason or other you may have to install the driver that the Zen comes with to pull files out or rename. Overall simple mp3 player with all the bells and whistles, minus the accessories that he ipod has >< but still better then the ipod as a single product.

isn't the new ipod nano tiny?... I wish I could help you out but I don't know what you're doing wrong. I do know that the monster icarplay wireless device isn't the most reliable or durable (in my personal experience). I hope that you can get it to work, sorry that I couldn't be of more help to you.

microUSB to USB is what you need. plug it in like any other USB mp3 player and it will be recognized by any compatible device: pc, sound system, etc.

I'm waiting for a 128gb flash player that SOUNDS good, and can be loaded with a standard usb cable, and not requiring some proprietary software (read itunes). I test drove a 64gb ipod touch when it first came out, because my 16gb cowon iaudio7 is too small, but it sounded terrible, admittedly it was a stock set of tunes ripped at a low bit rate, but when I wanted to load up my own max bit rate tunes to it, the geniuses at the apple store couldn't fathom why someone would want to listen to tunes they'd ripped themselves, or how to make it happen. Hopefully someone raises the bar on storage space and sound quality, neither of which should be hard at this point. I wish someone would swing for the fences and do a flash 256gb player. I have to admit, I'm anachronistic, in that I don't want internet access, apps, videos, etc. just a gigantic music player that's not disk based (use it on a motorcycle, drop it constantly on the commute), that sounds fantastic and has great battery life. The more things a device does, the performance of each of those things suffers.

Am thinking about buying the Creative Zen and read where someone stated it was hard to bookmark on the SD card. Have you had problems doing this too?He said it was not good for audiobooks. I use my Creative Zen Vision W and iPod only for books and would like to purchase another.....Thanks for any info......

I am a Mac user but do not own a Creative Labs player, but to address your other question the answer is no, iPod is definitely NOT your only option. I own an iRiver (IFP-899) and it comes with PC and Mac software. I also own a Pogo Radio My Way (which works like an external drive on the Mac / no software needed.) If you want to use a non-iPod mp3 player with iTunes google this: "iTunes for Mac OS X: Compatible Players"

I don't have much help to provide...mine works fine with my iPod Nano (4th) and iPod (classic). No issue charging either. I'd try a different aux cable and perhaps another mp3 player and make sure the issue isn't external. Otherwise, I'd return the item for replacement. Frustrating, I'm sure.

Same exact thing happened to us! Ooohs & Ahhhs opening the I-pod classic and Philips DCP850 at the same time. Its been almost a week now and I'm still absolutely no where on getting helpful answers from Philips or Apple on trying to use their products. What portable DVD player will work with the I-pod classic?? with no extra cords, cables or anything?

Any MP3 player that can be controlled using buttons on their headphones can use this. It works the same way. I have not used it with the Nano, but there is no reason to think it won't work since it works with iPhone.

Nope. Found that out AFTER I bought the player. :( I put my ipod on it and it says on the screen "This device is not supported by the current something or other...." something like that.

Hi, I use an MP3 player and it is working for me :), I hope it works for you!

Yes, you can hook an iPod to the auxillary plug on the front and it will play MP3s. Plug is not included.

thanks for the reply.. I ended up buying the sansa shaker mp3 player (I liked the idea of having a speaker option), for my 8 yr old niece this Christmas. I wish I didn't. It seems that if you have a Mac, and buy music on iTunes you, can't transfer it to an mp3 player, unless it is an iPod. ITunes music is in AAC format... you can't change it mp3 format. Mac apparently says that the sound quality is better.. I'm not so sure, and I am definitely disappointed that Mac doesn't at least give you the option. I'll just continue to let her use my old 2nd generation iPod.

I have two Sansa players and have been very happy thus far. Owned an older Zen model, most unhappy, and because they've never had an FM radio, refused to purchase an Apple player.

"It's compatible with any audio source that uses a 3.5-mm headphone jack, including iPod, Sansa, Zune, portable CD players, and more" from the product description :-) I almost missed it, too. I have a 5th gen and just bought this one, we shall see!

We have been able to hook up any type of Ipod or mp3 player no problem. There is a universal speaker plug attached. The specs should give more detailed info. The sound is veryclear and loud for such a small speaker.
