Summary: It Works Brilliantly
Comment: This unit is Simplicity at it's best. The Phlilips SJM3151 Universal Remote for iPod worked as advertised. The setup was very easy and with the remote I can now control my Ipod through my stereo system from my patio or anywhere in the house. I could not ask anything more from this product.

I see no reason now not to load up all my library on my "classic 80mb"

Summary: Forget your playlists
Comment: If you want to listen to your playlists the way you made them, forget this product.
For some unknown reason it will take all the songs on your playlist and rearrange them in alphabetical order. Even if you make the list up of albums, it will rearrange all the songs on the list. When I called Phillips tech support, they told me this couldn't be true. Then the tech support person put me on hold and tried it out. She came back on the line saying I was right and there was no way to correct the problem.

Except for this problem, which to me is major, it works very well.

Summary: Best IPOD remote control I've seen
Comment: I was looking for an RF remote control that would allow me to control my IPOD from my backyard (for play on yard speakers). This product is perfect. I have my IPOD permanently docked at my stereo (inside) and with this remote I can search (poolside) through all my songs (by artist, playlist, etc), play, adjust volume, etc. Highly recommended. Especially for someone who has a dedicated stereo for a backyard that is remotely located.

Summary: Not sliced bread, but darn good
Comment: Let's dispense with the bad:

1) Could use a back light.
2) Better to think of this as a remote for your iPod, and not as a universal remote for all your other home theater equipment. If you need the latter, look at something like a Harmony remote.

Now with the good:

If you have a home theater system, plus speakers in other locations attached to the system, this is a great remote. I have a complicated home theater system, but I also have speakers in the back yard and in a reading room. The only time I listen to my iPod is when I'm in one of these other areas (if I'm in front of the main system I will play the better sounding CDs, thank you very much). This remote allows me to control the iPod almost as well as if the iPod were in my hands. Headphones stink. They either sound bad, are uncomfortable, or both. I can sit back in a comfortable chair, or by the pond, and listen to music over quality speakers, and not get my lazy butt out of the chair just because the record industry subjected me to another crummy song put on an album as filler (yes, I know I could take those songs off the iPod, but I have a large collection, and, as stated previously, I'm lazy).
