NOXON iRadio for iPod

iPod base station, wireless Internet radio, intuitive podcast receiver, multiformat network audio player for music on your hard drive and designer FM radio in stylish optic — the NOXON iRadio for iPod is a masterpiece for all music fans. Its integrated speaker guarantees music enjoyment wherever a network access is available.

Many music fans have their collections distributed across a variety of media and technologies, resulting in snarled cables, stacks of burned CDs and general file format chaos, and the most powerful member of TerraTec's NOXON family is the simple solution for all applications. Its integrated Universal Dock turns your iPod into a stereo system and charges it. You can also select and play any one of over 11,000 Internet radio stations from around the world — without needing to boot your computer. The large variety of radio stations is comfortably pre-sorted e.g. by geographical origin or genre for a good overview. A refined sorting system that can memorize your favourites at the touch of a button and can be customized in detail helps you stay on top of the vast selection. A wide range of podcasts are also available at the touch of a button — get exactly the information you need straight from the source, without technical hassles.

Thanks to the powerful networking features of the NOXON iRadio for iPod, you can at last enjoy music from your hard drive anywhere in the house. Regardless of whether you are using a wired or wireless LAN or HomePlug network, your digital music will finally be on tap in your bedroom, living room, kitchen or bath, while your computer stays where it belongs — in your home office.

For music fans with a spirit of discovery, the NOXON iRadio for iPod also offers a wide variety of exciting music portals. Whether Napster, Musicload, classical.com, besonic.com, Aupeo! or one of the other services—after a quick setup, you can select and play back the music right on the display of the stylish little unit. Intelligent software ensures that you can easily discover music you love with automatically generated playlists and suggestions from other listeners. Basically, all services have a 30-day trial period, after which the test period ends automatically and without the risk of hidden costs. If you have found a service you really like, in most cases, monthly fees are charged for additional use.

The audio player is extremely keen on connectivity. Its USB host lets you connect external hard drives and memory sticks. If you're planning a really big party, simply connect active speakers or a full-size HiFi system to the Line Out or Digital Out ports. A headphone socket for quiet enjoyment rounds out the selection. The NOXON iRadio for iPod can be controlled using a remote or the buttons on the device. Its clear, easy-to-read display provides all the information you need.
