Jensen JIMS-120-W Docking Digital Music System for iPod

 (3 customer reviews)

I bought this docking station with the understanding (as indicated in the description) that it would recharge an iPod Nano. But it won't recharge any new iPods (meaning anything produced within the past 12 or 14 months). The manual clearly states that it will charge iPod Nanos if the software is up to date, but this is not true. I telephoned the company that distributes it ([...]) and was told that there was a misprint in their manual and that there was nothing I could do about it. Amazon would not take it back because they do not themselves sell the product, and Spectra would not because 30 days had elapsed since I bought it (because it was a Christmas present for someone else and we did not realize its failings until January). If you have an old iPod that you have not upgraded, buy this, but otherwise do not.

I use this for listening to sleep mp3s before bed. It has a sleep timer so it's not on all night. And you can dim the back light so that the player is dark at night if light bothers you - but can also turn it back on with one touch of the snooze button.

I think this is a good music station. Double check to make sure it supports your music device (as previous reviewer pointed out) but otherwise it's good. The sound, clock, functions - nothing wrong with it!
