So there went the main reason I bought the i7500: to play my iTunes. The Superwoofer-iPod docking failed completely after 8 days and no one -- I mean NO ONE -- at iLuv will respond to my repeated requests for support. The company has also removed the i7500 from its own web site as a product for sale, so that should tell you something. I bought the iLuv 7500 and was very happy when it arrived on Dec 23, 2008, even though the so called "Super-Woofer" --- which holds the iPod dock -- was woefully underpowered. WRONG. DO NOT buy this product. I figured what can you expect for $130, right. You'll be sorry if you do.
It is particularly annoying since it also doesn't play each CD and it's very difficult to see if it's even trying to read the CD or not. A little more than a year later and the "new" one is doing the same thing. The remote doesn't work very well--sometimes pressing play will change the function from CD to mp3. I received this as a gift and within a couple of months the light on the LCD stopped working. We got another as a replacement since it was still under warranty. I was so excited to have this for my iPod and it's just been a disappointment. It was impossible to read what the machine was doing. I would not recommend buying one of these.
All the controls work well. The only major problem is the sound. It doesn't have a lot of volume and the sound is a little tinny. This unit works fine. I have had it about a month and have had no problems.
Yes, lots of stereos let you play MP3 players through them, but you are running the MP3 player off battery power, and have to change the battery every 15-20 hours. I couldn't find ANYTHING remotely like this -- something that could play stored music off memory cards and USB thumb drives. With this, you just plug in a memory card or thumb drive with music files, and it plays off them -- no batteries needed.The only reason it's not a 5-star is because I wish it had even more wattage for even bigger sound (but it does sound very good -- I just like my stereos BIG).
Also hoped the super woofer would be controled by the remote. I just wish the sound would go up a little more but its still a great iluv sound is loud & clear. but still a great buy for the price.The blue Screen stoped working on me after 3-4 months :(
