I got this as a present. Honestly, I had been considering buying a Zune because the iPod didn't come with a radio function. However, my wife bought me an iPod for Christmas. So, I began looking around for a radio function and found this. The only problem is that it was about ! So, after paying 0-0 for an iPod, Apple gets you for another . br /br /As the product goes, it works well. I use it primarily at the gym to tune into the televisions or local radio stations. I have to admit though, I was disappointed that there was no AM function. I know many people disregard AM, but sometimes its the only way to get the college football, basketball, etc. game. So, I was a little irritated when I was listening to a game in my car, go into the gym and realize that this add-on only supported FM. br /br /Overall, this will work quite well for most people. It comes with a set of headphones that have a shorter cord since the remote/FM receiver has quite a bit of cord already.

a poor product, they don't last - K. Loyd - Atlanta, Georgia
I've bought 2 of these now, both quit working after 6 mos to 1 year of irregular use, the problem seems to be related to the connection.br /Though under warranty, Apple will not accept these for a return or a replacement as they do not have a 9 digit serial number printed on them anywhere. As a result of my experiences with these and with Apple customer service, I will never purchase another ipod product.
