My daughter, who is 14 , has a radio which works well as her alarm and also as a speaker for the inevitable iPod. It sounds better than most docking stations I have heard and gives access to a world of Internet music. I would be hard pushed to say it didn,t sound just as good as the boom, until a

Get her a radio with battery pack. What is lacks in audio quality is made up by ease of use, compactness, and portability with battery. If she wants more/louder later, you can always use the radio in a different room. - Ross -- rcampbel3

Hi - I'm running a couple of receivers and a controller off an Ubuntu hosted SBS. My daughter (10) loves it, especially access to Spotify, and is now angling after her own squeezebox player for her room. Possible solutions would be an SB Radio; a Boom; or I could buy a Touch for myself and let h
