Does this have to be hooked up to the internet to work? Can I just play tunes off my computer or mp3 player without a wifi hookup? Thanks!

It doesn't require a WiFi connection. It can run off your Bluetooth enabled device, or you can pug into the 1/8 Aux jack and play directly out of your phone or iPod or whatever else has an 1/8 out connector.

No connection to a computer needed besides to charge. It pairs with your devices using Bluetooth

No it doesnt have to be hooked up to the internet just a Bluetooth connection. You can play your music off your phone no WiFi is needed.

Well I'm not 100% sure if you have to be connected to the Internet. I connected my phone and tablet but they both have Internet connected to them. I have not tried my laptop without Internet. Sorry, I think as long as blue tooth then you should be okay.

The speakers need to connect to base unit with wires. Once everything is hooked up, it can receive Bluetooth to play music only. It has wifi but I do not, so I am not sure of the exact wifi capabilities.

I don't think you can connect it to your computer. It's designed to connect to MP3 players, I tried to connect it to my laptop for a school project but it didn't work (of course that was two years ago).

If it has bluetooth capabilities, then yes. The speaker and device do not need internet or reception. It only works through bluetooth, unless you want to use a cord connection

If you have the know how you can download anything and put it on a flash and use that. I downloaded and put stuff on my mp3 and bought a cable to connect the mp3 to this unit to play music. Cable was like $5. Unit has an input place for that.

No can use your computer, tablet, and/or phone as long as it is on the same wifi network. In other words, yes you can use your MP3s.

No, it cannot have music downloaded on to it. It can have an mp3 player plugged into it and then play through the speaker.

No, it does not need to be plugged into your computer. It does work off wireless internet access. If your work has WiFi then the radio should work just fine.

You have to be connected to wifi. I sit on the couch with headphones and listen. My wifi is about 10ft away.

Forget the wires. If you have wifi, you can use an Apple airport express for each amp/speaker set. Then iTunes (or any sound source from your computer or laptop connected to the network) can play through either or both. I have 8 zones in my house like this now, and it works great. Each can be independently selected with independent volume controls. You can also play from iPad or iPhone, but only one zone at a time.

What you would have to do is have a home receiver near by. I have one in my basement. I ran the speaker wire from the receiver in the basement to the speakers outside. Then you would just hook up your IPOD to the "Aux In" on the receiver. That's the setup I have to play my IPOD outside. There is no way to directly hook up the IPOD to the speakers. Hope this helps answer your question.

No you need to plug it up to a computer. The Ipod deck is just in case your computer crashes, you can't mix with it.

Not wireless, you can plug into PC or MP3 player etc. The PC will charge battery or you can use usb adapter for 110 volt or 12 volt to charge battery if you have them, same way you charge your MP3 player. I have charged and used mine both ways, but it must be plugged into what ever to work.

It works on wi fi, but it only works if your wi fi is A or G format if I remember correctly. It's behind the times in that matter, all the new formats are N and other ones I can't remember. At the moment I can only get one station in the kind of music I like, from their stations already stored. Haven't been able to add more. When it connects to your wi fi it works OK, and I have gone close to 100 ft away befor it disconnects.

It does have the Itunes player. It will play internet radio and also your own music as well.

Yes, but you have to have a SD card you can't play music wireless from your phone only answer the phone. But, if your phone have a SD card you can take the music off it your phone and download it to the MP3 player. I got over 1000 songs on my SD card. If you have anymore question for me just email me again. Okay?

You need a WiFi connection to listen to live radio if it is not docked. You can listen to downloaded or recorded content. I use mine when I do yard work or any outdoor stuff. Had mine for about 6 months and have no major complaints
