If I put an iPod Nano (5th Gen) into this product, will it play well?Also, would this product fit into a normal sized school backpack?

your nano should play just fine, as i believe it has the (older) 30 pin plug. As far as the back-pack the answer is a resounding NO, not even close. This thing is big and is composed of three separate parts that do not attach together at all, so you cant even carry it around. It is not a boom-box, but rather a shelf system. It would not even fit into one of those huge L.L. Bean pack-packs, you would need a small suitcase to carry it around.

I don't know about the nano. And no it would not fit inside book bag, it's large.

I use my Nano with this system and it plays very well. As for fitting in a school backpack, not so much.

Hi James Fong, this Sony MHCEC609ip uses 30-pin connector that works on old iPod (classic). Approximate dimensions for this are 192 mm × 302 mm × 195 mm (7 5/8 in ×12 in × 7 3/4 in). It will not fit in on a normal backpack. -Ely

Yes, the ipod 5th generation will fit there and Definetly No! It will not fit in a bagpack.

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

TDP, this isn't a boom box, but a Shelf type system. It's not that big but does carry enough sound.It's about 20 pounds and 22 x 21 x 16 inches total. I think it's a really nice system, so much so, my friend bought the same unit after seeing mine. I would think you could keep it in the box or place it in a tote to carry it in for your class. It really is a decent system. Take good care!

I have used the latest version of the iPod Classic (160 GB) with it and it works fine. The iPod doc is the type with multiple slot adapters to help hold your version of iPod (very much like the Bose iPod Speaker system as well as others).

I think it is better suited for work. I carry an iPad in the tablet slot and a MacBook Pro in the laptop slot. I have headphones in the front pocket and the middle pocket usually holds work papers and any books I might be reading that I don't have on the iPad. I guess it would be OK for high school depending on how many books you try to fit in it.

As long as your Nano has a standard speaker or headphone jack. I use it for my iPad and it works great. I just plug it in and set my iPad on it and I'm good to go.

Hi Rachel, "How To" videos on YouTube say it doesn't work for 5th Gen Ipods. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7YLrHKEOd0 ) I don't know how you feel about trying to "Tweak" a product? There's not enough room, length wise, for the included blue insert and the your Ipod 5th Gen. If you put a small nest of rubber bands for the your Ipod 5th Gen to rest on so when you close the case it's snug, I believe it should work for you... I don't know how helpful this is for you but it's the best info/idea that I could find and come up with a possible solution. Best, Jc :)

Pretty good sound for the price. I was really skeptical! It should fit right into your ipod nano where you would normally attach ear buds.

It will work with it, but I wouldn't recommend it.. It's very cheap, Mine broke right after I got it.. It's pretty hard to get the Ipod to fit in it also. You have to put a lot of pressure to get it open enough. I would look for something else if I was you.

The iPod will fit in it but the case isn't designed for it do the fit is lose and the screen and home button will be difficult to operate.

I'm waiting for a 128gb flash player that SOUNDS good, and can be loaded with a standard usb cable, and not requiring some proprietary software (read itunes). I test drove a 64gb ipod touch when it first came out, because my 16gb cowon iaudio7 is too small, but it sounded terrible, admittedly it was a stock set of tunes ripped at a low bit rate, but when I wanted to load up my own max bit rate tunes to it, the geniuses at the apple store couldn't fathom why someone would want to listen to tunes they'd ripped themselves, or how to make it happen. Hopefully someone raises the bar on storage space and sound quality, neither of which should be hard at this point. I wish someone would swing for the fences and do a flash 256gb player. I have to admit, I'm anachronistic, in that I don't want internet access, apps, videos, etc. just a gigantic music player that's not disk based (use it on a motorcycle, drop it constantly on the commute), that sounds fantastic and has great battery life. The more things a device does, the performance of each of those things suffers.

I have the 80GB iPod Classic (http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/), and it fits perfectly. http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html (Other link with tech specs.)

The pouch is small. It will fit a small flip-phone or Nano iPod, cash, car keys, that kind of small stuff. It will not fit any kind of smartphone or a regular iPod. Those would just be too long and too wide. Hope this helps!

It should work... I used it for a iPod... I love it.. :) & I think u would to.

No, my son has one and it does not fit. My daughter's longer thinner I-pod Nano fits in it. There are other side pockets that my son puts his in! There's lots of space for different items! Three of my children have them for 3 different sports and they suit all needs.

You don't want to run with any of the bigger iPods anyway - the hard drive inside is very delicate and the constant jarring while running can damage the iPod. Nano doesn't have the internal HD, so it can withstand the pounding. I have a 60GB video iPod and it's already starting to suffer the effects of my 15-20 mi/week running schedule.

Yes. It can. It is packed away at school, but if I recall correctly it has the 2 different size headphone jacks. That way you use the one that your device needs.
