Another post about alarm clocks

I never imagined I would devote one post to an alarm clock and my battle with it, much less two in one day. Last week I decided it was time for me to get an alarm clock that was compatible with my iPod. It would be nice to have something besides my computer to play my music without having to listen through my headphones, in addition to upgrading my alarm clock.

I ordered an iSound Time Travel from kohls.com and just got it in the mail today (I am an avid online shopper, its one of my greatest weaknesses). I just finished setting everything up and was reading the directions of how to set the alarm. That is where I found the following sentence: " The Alarm Function will only work if the unit is in Power Off state (i.e. Power LED turns off). It will not work if iPod or AUX IN is playing."

This, to say the least, is extremely disappointing. I enjoy falling asleep to either (a) light music, or (b) medatation from My Thought Coach (which will have to be a completely different topic). I was looking forward to something that would allow me to play both my iPod playlists and work as an alarm clock. But instead, I will now have two alarm clocks sitting on my window sill, one of which will act as an alarm clock and the other to play my iPod. But I guess thats how it goes!
