When we got ours the buttons didn’t work.
Plus getting the ipod to work with it has been tricky.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R31ZQP48D0E7RU I bought this radio to be placed in the room of my four months old Son .
The first 5 minutes were excellent, good sound, good control, the MP3 works very well. But then stopped working. A few minutes later, The clock return at 12:00 and no buttons work. I think I’ve been cheated and I like to have my money back.
But Of course return the article to claim the warranty is more expensive than buying a new one.
What a F…k
UPDATE.

last night I disconnect the radio and remove the battery to reboot. this morning plug in again and started work, I put the time and apparently its normal operation. Again proved to play MP3 via USB and 4 minutes latter the system again frieze. Do not turn on, no sounds, no nothing.
I Buy this item just because for me the most important thing was to play mp3 without needing an additional device, and is exactly the device that makes it useless.
I recommend not to buy this item.

This little radio has so much going for it, that I just couldn’t pass it up. Because it wasn’t available on Amazon prime, I went ahead and got it from Timexaudio ([...]), where shipping was free. And prompt. I got it in just a couple of days.
Everything about it is just great, with one exception. And let me caution you that this could just be my unit. There was a terrible short in the AC plug in that, interestingly, prevented the unit from picking up any radio stations. I live in a major city with strong radio signals, so there should be no reason why this radio can’t pick up any stations. I’m going to send it back and get another one, and I’ll keep you posted.
Oh, yes, as others have written, the unit is excrutiatingly cheaply made. The volume knob is so flimsy I’m afraid it will fall off any time.
I’ll be back.

Nice looking unit, is only positive feature this radio had. I must of gotten a lemon. It could not pull in my favorite 50K Watt AM radio station, all the other stations had a huge amount of static. The FM band was the same. The MP3 player would not play music that I had legally downloaded from the net. It would play music that I had ripped from CD’s.
It had all the features I was looking for. It just didn’t work.
I had no problem returning it from the store I had bought it from.

Finally, a clock radio that can play from a USB or SD flash card so that you can wake to your favorite songs.
…except that it always plays the SAME mp3 file when the alarm goes! Yes, that’s right, the one feature they forgot to incorporate was the fact that, maybe, you may not want to wake to the SAME track EVERY day! Hah, like a person is going to fiddle with the clock every night to set it to wake to a different song? What a joke. To add insult to injury, random mode is available when in normal/listen mode, but not in alarm mode! Insanity!
As a veteran software and embedded systems engineer, I feel qualified to say that Timex deserves to be bloody out of business for being unable to intelligently engineer decent alarm clock software of all bloody things. Utterly pathetic.
What a complete waste of money — stupid me to assume that the engineers who made this had two brain cells to rub together.
