Heres the problem. 3 years ago I bought a new BOSE ipod sounddock for 0. A part broke and now I have to spend 0 to fix it. The bose store will ship it for free and repair it. Heres a picture of the speaker. http://www.i-weaver.com/upfile/pic1231357690.01-A1NDBS7YGOPBD6
I am debating on fixing the old speaker for 0 or purchasing this new speaker off a store on ebay.

It is Logitech and has bass, treble, and 3d stereo. Can someone compare these speakers or give me some tips? thanks

I’ve been considering buying the family’s first IPod (the IPod nano 4th generation) for a few days now, and was wondering if anyone has any real problems with it. Many people at amazon.com who gave it a one star rating had the following problems:
1-IPod is not compatible with other IPod accessories
2-IPod only stays charged for 4-5 hours or less (24 hours was promised)
3-IPod only charges on/with computer
4-With even the slightest giggle, the IPod goes into "cover flow", preventing you from changing the volume. You have to hold the IPod upright for a little bit in order to fix itself. It is very difficult to fix this.
5-Album covers get mixed up, song/band doesn’t match the cover shown.
6- The edges of the IPod/ screen are curved. It is difficult to prevent glare from appearing on the screen.
All of these will be a hassle for me except for 1, because this is our first IPod, we own none of the previous IPod charging stations, docking stations, etc. 2, 3, and 4 will be the biggest issue for me. I need my power on my MP3 player to last for more than 4-5 hours (for long car trips), I don’t always have access to a computer to charge any device (vacations), and I always take my MP3 player on the school bus, which I’m affriad will irritate the IPod, because of the josteling.
Has anyone ever had problems like these? Are there any other problems that I should know about? Is there anyway to fix them for good if they do appear? If you own this type of IPod, does the good outweigh the bad? Is it even worth buying at all?
(If it helps what-so-ever, the one I would like to purchase is a red IPod nano 4g, engraved, from the Apple store on their website.)
I appriciate any ideas/ feedback that the IPod owners can give me!
Another small question:
I was reading a forum that somebody posted on, and she had gotten a new IPod 4g nano. She said that with each charging, the battery life lsated longer and longer. Is this true?

I have a very buggy 30gb Zune and I’m trying to save up money for a new MP3 player. The main reason I want an iPod is because they are more compatible with docking stations (including ones in the car- and I do plan on getting a car with iPod integration).
I have a lot of music on my Zune, so an iPod Nano or Shuffle don’t have enough storage space. I love the idea of watching videos on my MP3 player (short clips while walking on the treadmill). However, I rarely use my MP3 players in a wi-fi enabled area, and I have an Android smartphone.
My smartphone, however, doesn’t have Netflix and some of the apps available for Apple.
I pretty much just use my Zune to listen to music, books, or podcasts while relaxing, driving, or working out.

Please recommend me a very basic MP3 player for home, lab and car use. I want a non-ipod, easy to move MP3s to it as files, not as tracks that needs tags, 4-8 gb,
the main quality – fast and easy operation while driving or in the lab – basically I want preferably not to look at the screen at all, but be able to change volume, folder and track with one hand without paying much attention. Ideally it should have buttons as on tape players and a scroll wheel for volume. You likely know what I mean. It should be smart and simple, minimum clicks… And it should power up and power down fast.
Also I am looking for a docking station to be used in the lab and kitchen, the one with a charger and speakers…

I see all the newer stereo systems, clock radios, etc. coming with what is always described as an "ipod dock" or "dock for your ipod". I have NO DESIRE to ever have anything with " i " in front of it. But I have begun wondering if these docks will support other MP3 players before I invest in one; the dock or the ipod/mp3 player, whatever.
Thanks

Can I eliminate the need for cds with an MP3 player? Is an ipod just an apple brand, or if I wanted a dock with speakers or to use it in my car does it have the be the ipod? I’m looking on Ebay and kind of lost. I don’t want to spend a fortune but I want to switch to just digital music and be able to use it anywhere.
And can I get the music off my pc and onto the MP3 player? I assume that’s how that works.

Could i just plug it into the bottom of my ipod without using the dock so i can watch videos on my ipod from my tv.. I heard that you need to plug your ipod into a universal dock and then plug the av cables into that
I meant watch videos from my iPod on the tv.
i was wondering why someone hasn’t come up with an easier method to hook up your mp3 player to your car. from what i saw unless your car comes equipped with an ipod dock, you would have to buy a fm modulator.
why don’t they just come up with a car cd player that has a universal head phone jack where you can plug your mp3 player?

i just need an mp3 player to put into my ihome bike speaker. The knock offs look like they have the same type of dock on the picture, but would it actually work? Would the remote control for it work? I don’t care about brand names i just need something that will play with the remote.
I was planning on getting my guy an MP3 player for his birthday, so my sister went and got him a docking station. (before I actually bought the player) The docking station is made by GTX. (iLive CD and Radio Home Music System with Docking and Recharging Station for iPod) The only problem is I wasn’t planning on buying an iPod!!!!
So is there an MP3 player out there that will be compatible with accessories made for iPods?
Before I even ask the question I will clearly state that we are not even thinking about having DJ or hiring anyone to do music.
— Okay, We have our music on the computer set up in playlists–
What is the best way to have the music played. IT is on a laptop computer. Should we buy speakers or what.
Before you ask, we are having his brother sing for our first dance and THEN we are going to play the music… it is going to be casual… first song on the list will be my dance with my dad. IT is planned and perfect we think.
Just trying to figure out the best way to play the music… we have an MP3 player, not an IPOD. So, there is no docking station for an MP3 player (that I know of)
Any help would be great 
Also is Daughter – Loudon Wainwright III a good father-daughter dance
Any pros and cons appreciated; I have a year old really simple cell phone, eligible for an upgrade to a different phone. I want an MP3 player for storing and listening to audiobooks mostly, maybe some music. I’m with Verizon and they recommend the Chocolate. What would better – upgrading to a Chocolate (will cost me about 5) or upgrading to a free phone and buy an MP3 player? I’m looking for a 4GB player, and not an iPod. Do MP3 players have docking stations for use as speakers? or are those docking speakers just for iPods?
I would like to purchase an mp3 player but don’t know which kind to purchase. I have looked at sony and ipod with their docking stations. I don’t want to purchase external speakers etc. I would like to connect the mp3 player to my existing Sony home stereo, which has surround sound. How do I do this? What cables do I need etc. Can it be done? If so which one is the best to buy.
Thanks
