Use This For Your iPod/Touch/iPhone/3G, Not For The CD Player!
The iLive Home Music System works very well with the iPod Touch or the iPhone 3G. However, as was stated by another reviewer, do not purchase this for CD playback capability. The CD plays intermittently if at all whether it's a regular audio CD or a burned CD. I have been unable to get an MP3 CD to play at all on this unit. Luckily I didn't purchase it for it's CD playback as I owned an iPod Touch at the time and I needed it specifically for its moderately sounding loudspeakers. The speakers are detachable and sound pretty good for the amount of money the system costs. I would have to recommend this unit over those that cost several times the price of this one ONLY if you're going to use it for Apple's iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone or iPhone 3G models.

Though the dock works, I would recommend using the Auxillary input (AUX) to play an iPhone, iPhone 3G or an iPod Touch. When you use the dock you are unable to effectively navigate and control the playback and songs satisfactorily due to the operations being controlled by the iLive Home Music System. However, with the AUX input, you will be able to navigate your music player as you normally would. It is this reason that I hook my iPhone 3G up to my car stereo through AUX and not the actual dock or USB connector. It allows you much more flexibility because you're not locked into or limited by the external system's interface.

this is a GREAT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is great and works well with my iPod touch and plays the music well. i would recommend this to anyone because i can still play my cd's as well...

It's Good
I bought it and it works good it sounds right and it was what I was looking for this is a good buy

Great Value!
I purchased this item from Amazon (yes, with free shipping to Hawaii! =^_^=) and its awesome. Its set up in my bedroom and it works great. The sound system could use more base, but hey for $55, this is a great CD player, iPod dock, Alarm clock, radio, I use it with my iPhone with an AUX jack, and play my iTunes remotely. It also comes with a fully functional remote. This has a lot of features for being compact.

UPDATE: I JUST TRIED THE AUX JACK AND ITS TERRIBLE, THERE IS BARELY ANY SOUND COMING OUT OF THE SYSTEM. THIS ITEM IS BEING RETURNED FOR A REFUND. CAN'T UPDATE STARS GIVEN!

Questionable Quality
After reading the mixed reviews, I decided to take a risk and purchase this unit. I agree that it has great sound quality, and has a nice look. I purchased one for my office; it's compact and a great fit. CD and radio work fine. However, the iPod function doesn't work, which was one of the main reason I selected the system. It charges it, and I can control the iPod - I simply cannot hear it. So for the price paid, I guess I should have expected problems. I have to send it back to the manufacturer (postage NOT paid) and the will send me another unit (postage paid). It's a great item in the event that yours comes in full working order. I'll let you know what happens the second time around.
