Will this play continuous music? I just want to use this for a yoga space, for classes - not as an alarm.

Yes. It will play from your ipod or iphone play list. It should work for your purpose.

Not a soothing chime - bad for yoga timing, can be downright irritating if allowed to chirp too long. Makes you want to get up and shut it off - but then again that is the point.

I use phone, ipad and computer some time as the audio source of it(blue tooth), the sound is good but not that 'loud', it also depends on the audio source you use, so far from my experience, it is good for a small room, about 400 ~500 sq. ft, with this helpful :)

I wouldn't use it for meditation. It's meant to get your attention; probably when you are distracted by other things. I isn't a jarring sound, but it is aggressive. And I think that is what it was meant to do. I've had one for a couple of years now and I love it more now than when I first purchased it. I've given them as gifts, too.

My wife uses it in her 2400 sq ft class room and the other teachers in other rooms say they can hear her. So it is pretty loud. It should work just fine for jamming.

We really don't use the timer. My daughter has 2 yoga classes back to back (about 1 hr each) and hasn't had a problem. The only issue we have had is that the switch works really hard on some of them. One didn't work at all but they replaced it right away and we haven't had any problems.

Interesting idea...I use mine to replay music on a CD, note for note. Since you can adjust the speed of the music playback, seems like you could also use it to slow down a lecture, or at least back it up to replay sentence by sentence. Good luck...B

Will it play sound? No it does not play sound itself. It allows you to interact with your computer from the front of your classroom via a video projector. That said, if you have speakers connected to your computer there is no reason it won't play sound. We have connected our computers a small 20 watt amp that is connected to wall mounted speakers. Everything works swimmingly well together.

I use it for listening to lectures, books and music. If you pause it (and let it auto shut off) or turn it off it starts over from where you left off. If you set the sleep timer it starts over from where it shut off. Also it turns on quickly. It has bookmarks and I find them easy to use. All in all I am very happy with its performance and usability.

Ouch, this question is good mine works good, 24 time during night time, and morning hours with nomal time as you see it for p.m but is for morning, if you some more question ask me, I didn't buy for time but I have it front of my bed, when is 4:00 a.m I just see the time is correct. Great sound for small room actually. Hope you like it!

Yes, if you have headphones. It can also play music from a USB souce, such as a thumb drive. I am the host of Positive Amplitude on CJAM 99.1 FM Sundays 6-8 PM so I review a lot of music every week and this unit has been excellent.

Without any more information, it is very difficult to answer the question. First, are you listening to music or video? Second, is the content heavily bass loaded? Third, do turn the volume up so the walls rattle? Steven's answer is correct - it will be better than nothing, but I don't know if it will meet your needs. I use it primarily to listen to movies, but at relatively modest volume levels. For me it provides a foundation (fills a void, as Steven said), that would otherwise be missing. I don't use it for loud music or MTV-type videos. Hope this helps.

I use it for a dance classroom at gym for about 100 people. If the 300 are just speaking/lecture kinda activity it would, i doubt it would work if its a loud crowd - NOTE: you also need a decent enough amp

The problem is that the sound doesn't begin at a specific time, it ends at a specific time.It's not a good device to use as a meditation timer. The sounds are basic 'white noise' (ocean, rain, river, birds). It may be O.K. for guided meditation but it's not good for Zen.

It can do either. There is timer button, or you can just turn it on to play continuously.

I'm making the assumption that Amazon knows what they are doing, since this is not the same product name as when I reviewed it, but if it is the same unit I would say that it will respond to any noise in the room, but I did not find it to work very well, partly because of that feature. I don't think you will find it a reliable solution.

If you can pair with tablet it will play music. However, it is a MONO speaker. One ear & sound won't be as you may hope. If your basically looking for a low background noise then will work fine. Volume for music isn't the best
