My Little Radio Friend
This is a sweet little item. I have used it to replace about 7 cubic feet of other, inferior equipment. The old stereo, radio and boombox will go into the yard sale. All my cds have been copied onto my iMac and iPod. ( These 3 items were purchased from Amazon, where I have always gotten very good service and price) Never again will a cd 'jewel box' burst open all over the floor after a life-and-death tussle. Now all my music, plus whatever radio show I am listening to, follow me wherever I go. I just pick the iPal up by its head, unplug it and travel on. <
>The sound is very, very good, whether I am playing from the iPod or the radio.. I know it is better than my old equipment. But there can be a little buzz. I would have given 4 1/2 stars if i could have. Don't forget to adjust your settings on your iPod to small speakers or spoken word. Also try turning the volume down. But the first time I listened to it, I was blown away. I can understand lyrics which were a mystery before. I can finally tell that the voices of the radio announcers are superior to most of us folks. And listening to a good singer well recorded-Ella, Nana Mouskouri, Billie Holiday, Sinatra, kd lang-wow! I can hear instrumentation I didn't know existed. <
>I have not timed the battery, but it seems to last and last. I tote it from the kitchen to the studio, outdoors to chop wood(me, not the iPal. It can't do everything) and finally upstairs to bed where I fall asleep listening to a book or playlist. <
>Because it is so small and good looking, it has improved my housekeeping (no huge equipment to clean) and I have more room to spread things out on shelves that formerly held the other stuff. When I want to disco, I use the iMac remote speakers. The iPal can get pretty loud if you want it, but it is best at a moderate volume. Most things are. Don't kill your hearing.

great except for reception
The small size belies the big sound. I bought it for NPR and evening cooking music. Why take up kitchen deck space with anything larger? My only complaint is that the reception is less clear than other reviews led me to expect. I live in NYC and have trouble with stations right here in the city. Maybe that's a local problem since my old tuner isn't any good, either. But I'd buy it again. <

Excellent personal portable radio
I bought Tivoli Audio iPal several months ago. I was looking for a small personal radio that I can listen to within a range of 2-10 feet. <
>So far it has exceeded my expectations: <
>Sound quality is very good - better than I expected from its relatively small speaker. I listen mostly to talk radio, classical music, and jazz. The listening range is about what I expected: 2-15 feet. <
>Reception (I listen exclusively to FM) is excellent, much better than any other radio I ever had, and I had quite a few of them. The telescopic antenna is convenient and does improve reception considerably when in use. <
>I like very much the simplicity and convenience of the controls. Finally, we have a radio which is just that - a radio. There is no need to read the manual because it does not have a built-in cuckoo clock, a microwave oven, and a garden hose. <
>I was not sure initially about the unusual square foot-print of this set. Now I like it very much and consider it a must have for any portable radio. It makes this radio much more stable than other, traditionally shaped portable radios. <
>Overall, it is a very well-designed quality product for its intended use as a portable personal radio.
