Got my new adaptor this afternoon. Talk about fast service - it was sent out yesterday!! Thanks Amy for getting this out so quickly. You guys at Klipsch are great - thanks so much! Nice recovery from the curve ball thrown to you by Apple when they changed the Nano dimensions. My wife is now happy that her iPod docks securely and neatly in the iGroove. And of course it continues to amaze people that come to visit our house - "how does such large sound come out of that" is what they ask. I am now 100% satisfied! Rich

When you get your new iPod, just connect it to your computer and upload music you already have in iTunes. We have 2 iPods in the house (I have an 80GB video and my wife has an 8GB nano) and I use the same computer to manage the music on both of them. Actually, no software comes with the iPod - you have to download it. Since you already have iTunes installed and loaded up with music, you're all set.

Hi Amy - Thanks for your reply. I'm sure Apple sent you guys for a loop on this one. How will we know that the new adaptor is available? Yes, the aux input is an option, but then the ipod won't charge. And it's not as elegant as docking it properly. For now, it is acceptable to me to have it in the dock while still in its case to provide support. More importantly, my wife finds it acceptable for now :-). Happy Holidays!! Rich

Yes, of course that will work, and that is what I am doing. The problem is that without the adapter the iPod is not supported so you have to be careful that you don't bend the dock connector. Without the adapter, you can easily damage either your iPod or the iGroove by pushing the iPod buttons without supporting the iPod. The adaptor serves more than just a cosmetic need. If I couldn't have used it at all, I would have returned it right after I bought it.

I got a response to the second message I sent to support. As you can see I received no response here. I'm not sure why - not many people using 2nd gen iPod nanos that use the iGroove? Anyway, I was told it would be a couple of months before they had the new adaptor available. Since in the past they made them available to iGroove users (or other iPod speaker systems) for free, I would assume it will be the same case here. I'm going to wait until after the holidays and ping them again.

This unit has plenty of bass. I had listened to the Bose Sounddock in a store and was suitably impressed. Then at another store I got to compare the Sounddock side-by-side with the iGroove. The difference in sound was immediately apparent. The Sounddock was totally lacking in bass response, but had nice highs and mids. The iGroove has it all - low end, mids and highs. Plus you can connect anything with a line out or headphone jack to the iGroove - I like that too. I have the iGroove set up in my kitchen and it is fantastic. Great bass even at low volumes. It is not boomy or overbearing, but pretty fat. I still can't get over how great this unit sounds - especially for the money and size. Circuit City has them on sale for $199 on line. Well worth the money!! I'm much more satisfied than I was with the crappy JBL SoundStage I bought prior. It got to sit on my counter for about 15 minutes before it got boxed right back up and taken off to be returned.

I just purchased the iGroove for my wife to use with her 8GB iPod Nano. The 8 GB Nano is one of the 2nd generation Nano's that Apple just introduced. The Nano does not fit when using the adaptor. The alignment is off just enough that it won't go into the dock. I had purchased a JBL Soundstage iPod speaker system (ugh did that sound awful!) and had the same exact problem. It seems like Apple changed the dimenions a touch with the 2nd generation nanos?? Has anybody else experienced this? With no adaptors and the nano in its protective case, it docks well with support from the back. It sounds incredible - way better than the Bose sounddock or any other iPod speaker/dock product that I've listened to. However, I would like to be able to dock it properly. Is Klipsch working this issue? Thanks! Rich
