This radio works exceptionally well as an AM/FM radio and as an iPod playback device. I currently am using an older 2nd Generation Shuffle (using a Griffin dock adapter) and it has superb sound quality. The antenna can be a little obtrusive and can be hard to hide. But they are a necessity to get good quality sound out of the radio stations. The remote is slick in that it is small and full-functioning ... except it won't work the Shuffle. BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO; the documentation doesn't include the Shuffle as a compatible device.
CONS: The light on the clock is really bright. It can be dimmed, but not even close to what is satisfactory for use in a bedroom. I made a shroud that attaches to the radio via Velcro and flips down over the clock at night. That solves the problem. Sounds a little hokey, but it is worth it because of the other overall quality features of the radio.
I shopped far and wide to find this radio. A definite must have if you are looking for a quality clock radio that will work well with your iPod.Get more detail about Sony ICFC1iPMK2 Speaker Dock and Clock Radio with iPod Dock (White).
