iPod Radio

Filed under: Add-ons, Features - 31 Jul 2007 from iPod Advisor

The ipod radio is a convenient way to obtain the enjoyment of listening to your favorite radio stations, enjoying all the great things radio can provide, all while using a small, convenient iPod. This new development for selecting radio stations came to the retail market in early 2007. Using the scroll wheel, tuning into the desired station is quick and convenient. The stations are tuned in with the use of a transmitter or ipod radio remote, which allows transmission of the radio waves into the iPod. All the stations are accessible in most locations. The controls are all in the hand of the user. The screen of the iPod is an easy way to view the station call numbers to achieve the desired sounds. The system referred to as the Radio Data System, or RDS, helps to display the song and station choice clearly. The information about the song and station will appear on the screen and is easily changed or tuned in with a touch of the scroll wheel. The user selects the icon radio from the iPod menu to start enjoying music. The iPod remote is compatible with the iPod Nano and all the most recent choices of fifth generation iPod styles.
