It works, but a one minute plus winding only gives you about 20 minutes of playtime at low volume, and it's a pain to stop your podcasts, disconnect, wind device, reconnect, and turn podcasts back on. I think if they left off the red light, it would play a little longer.
While the sound quality is not fabulous for a large room or being turned up too loudly, we found this small speaker would work well with our ipod for one or two listeners, and is convenient to charge and carry. The sale price was great worth for the product as well! We are anxious to try it out on the boat!
