ISB: iSongBook System - A Radio Guy's Radio
And I thought my PAL was great. I've been in radio, public and otherwise, for most of my life, currently as host and producer of Planetary Radio for the Planetary Society. I have no idea how many radios I own, but they're everywhere. Outside the car, which do I depend on most by a wide margin? My iSongBook. (The PAL went to my grateful wife when the iSongBook arrived.) The only thing I miss about the PAL is the great feel of that tuner, but I wouldn't give up digital tuning for it. There is so much that is just right about the iSongBook. From the detachable second speaker's internal wind-up cable to the cool blue display backlight, I love this little machine. Most reviews note that it's a bit light on bass, but the better reviews remind us that all that great sound is coming from nicely-protected 2.5 inch speakers! And the fold-down iPod dock (with full remote!) is terrific. So, Tivoli, when do we get the fully iPhone compatible model? Classic, Nano and iTouch owners, this is your radio. Don't have an iPod? Then you need this radio even more!
