Great but not Perfect.... |

This is a great addition to my Sonos system (14 zones). I don't use it much myself as all my recorded music is on a NAS, but it is great for guests, giving them a chance to 'plug in' their music and share it with others. The only negative (as mentioned before) is that a number of the older ipods are not compatible with the dock. However, the newer ones including the 'touch' and iphone work great and give you access to all the music anywhere in your system. A nice addition to your Sonos System.

Sonos is amazing and this product fits all the typical criteria you would expect from them. It is good looking, a breeze to set up and easy to use.
The good: The dock allows access to all the music on an i-pod/phone device while sitting in another room. What is great is that from any Sonos controller you can access all the content including playlists. The sound quality is also very good. A great application would be when friends show up at a party and want to play some music that you might not have. They simply drop their i-pod/phone into the device and you have access immediately.
The bad: This device is not compatible with older ipods. I have several older devices and they do not work. When I saw "supports I-pod classic", I figured mine must be a classic. This is not the case. When I went to the Sonos site, I found that there are many versions that are not supported. Check their site for compatibility.
The scary: I am not saying that it is the fault of the Sonos device but within a week of owning the dock, two non-supported Sonos i-pods, died completely after interfacing with the unit. One while in the cradle. Sonos tech support, which is great, could not see how the dock could have done this. I'm sure they tested everything thoroughly but the coincidence seems fishy.
