Not sure if this helps but I got my 6-year-old 1st generation(!) ipod to work with Vista with no problems. If I can get that old dinosaur to be Vista compatible I'm sure the nano should work just fine. You might have to fool around with the itunes security properties, but other than that, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.

I've got Vista on my laptop, and my 4 gb nano works just as well as it does on my desktop's Windows XP. You shouldn't have any problems.

I have my son's 4GB Nano working with Vista with no problems. You do need to have the latest generation of iTunes, which includes the latest quicktime, but that's about it. Good luck.

I am using mine on Apple products (IPod, MacAir and an older MacBook. However, I think the key is using ITunes to enable the AirPlay feature. Don't know anything about Windows 7 capability. instructions should help you. Seems logical if ITunes works, the speakers will work too.

Hmm, well the product I got works with Vista and 7 I believe. It is only the older versions that don't work. I have a Windows 7 and it works perfectly. It should say on the box, "works with vista and 7" or something along those lines.

I tried to use it with XP. Did not have success. Even contacted Fujitsu for help as it should have worked with XP. But I was trying to use it through an EHR program that was probably interfering with it. Had to send it back. The Fujitsu website will probably answer your questions about it working with Vista. Good luck.

Thank you, I called and spoke with someone at Rhapsody as well. I asked about the available service for the use of ipods. It was said to me that the older version ipods are not serviceable by Rhapsody. It was said to me only the newer ipods were accepted for service. I know this doesn't have to do with the Phillips but I figured any available information is helpful when in search of a gadget such as the mp3 player for the particular use on Rhapsody. Thank you for the info on the Phillips mp3. I am sure it will be very helpful to many people.

I would check this out on the Apple Support site. Everything that I see talks about needing the software 1.0.3 for the 4th generation iPod Nano and nothing about a 3rd generation or before.

I would assume you found out by now if the unit would work for you? Would be nice to hear if it worked for you. EG: You post back if unit worked in Vista.... (Net is a wonderful source of info IF people post back into threads they've created. -think two way street when posting... instead of one way street in which you expect all info to flow towards you.) Sort of mute point at this point in time, still... when creating a thread asking for HELP... when you do have a answer/info -update the thread/post. Will this item work in Vista? This unit was marketed during before VISTA, Windows7 was around. (Newest OS listed is XP) Don't know about VISTA... but SanDisk CF Type I/II ImageMate USB 2.0 Reader/Writer (Model SDDR-92-A15) is showing as Windows 7 32/64 bit compatible -no need to install any additional software, in case anyone is interested. (Packaging indicates you MUST install some type of software that came with unit prior to connecting drive.... Guess this is for the "One-Touch Transfer button".) Drive should show up under your drive listing...without any additional software. http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=SanDisk%20Imagemate%20Card%20Reader&v=SanDisk&uid=SDDR-92-A15&l=en-US&pf=0&pi=9&c=Mice%2C%20Keyboards%20%26%20Input%20Devices&sc=Other%20Input%20Devices&os=64-bit

Any older dock will do fine with the ipod nano 16 gb. I have an ih4, which is really old, and it worked with my ipod nano 4th generation. If you upgrade to the ipod touch 2nd generation however, think about getting this model. Anyways, to make my point clear, ANY OLDER IPOD DOCK WILL WORK WITH THE IPOD NANO 4TH GENERATION. And to answer your primary question, yes, I would think that if an older ipod dock is compatible with my ipod nano 16 gb, yours would be fine with this dock. But check other sources before you get this model. I'm just guessing bassed on common sense and past experiences with ihome. Any older dock will do fine with the ipod nano 16 gb.

I too have Windows Vista and am anxious to find out which- if any players are compatible with it. I have about decided on a Creative Zen V or plus and found one at SecureMart.com for $81.00. I hope someone can answer this for us. Ok- I kept searching and I think I will go with YES! Based on......the Vista Compatible site they listed the Creative M something or other that has 30 and 60 Gb for $299.00. I looked at the requirements and they are exactly the same as the Zen V plus. Does this make sense to anyone but me?

We have had no issues with any iPods, brand new Classics, older Nanos ... they work just fine. Make sure that the connections is secure since I have had issues with the connecting cable and am having it replaced nect week.

Okay....I just called Altec Lansing (800-258-3288). I was advised that yes it would work but that there was no adapter (as of yet) for the ipod 8 GB nano. BUT.....if you use unit in a stationery position it would work. I bought one for my 82 year old mother 2 years ago, one for myself last week (i have a sec gen ipod nano) and now...I'm thinking of buying the new ipod 8gb nano and using my altec lansing. I don't carry it around....I use at home or bring to work and use. Its always stablilized. I have one of the original in home BOSE stereo systems (5 big speakers) and HANDS DOWN, this IM7 beats it for crispness and clarity. Okay....I just called Altec Lansing (800-258-3288).

Yes, it is compatiable with windows. But seems like virtual Dj windows version is not stable...so i'd like to recomment to use with mac or ipad.

I don't know what they're getting at with that description. The product requires Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. I'm not certain if it's compatible with Windows 8.1 yet or not. This is NOT MAC/Apple compatible. That version is clearly labeled as such.

The iPod would need to have Bluetooth capabilities. I don't think the nano does, but not sure.

I does not work with anything newer than the ipod nano 3rd generation. I bought an ipod nano 4th gen but it did not work in the iGroove. I still use the 3rd generation keep it in the iGroove which is in my garage for when I work on projects love the player it sounds awesome.

Yes, it is Vista compatible. As Andrew said before, you can pull out the SD card and transfer files directly to it, provided you have an SD card reader slot on your computer.Alternately, you can use the included cable to transfer the files directly onto the card-- the Shaker acts as an external SD card reader in that case.Windows Media Player could theoretically be used to "sync", but I wouldn't recommend this, as the files WMP makes from CDs and other sources tend to be in WMA format, which the Shaker can't play natively-- you'll need to convert WMA files to MP3 first (same goes for iTunes M4V files). Amazon MP3 files work fine, though. Yes, it is Vista compatible.

just to clarify... ipod nano is flash-based, just like ipod touchthe classic is the only one that is hard drive
