The good: The Tivoli Audio SongBook is an attractively designed, decent-sounding portable AM/FM radio with alarm functionality. It also offers a line input and an optional rechargeable battery.
The bad: You'll need to supply your own rechargeable batteries, and the Tivoli Audio SongBook lacks the included detachable speaker and the built-in iPod dock of its more expensive cousin, the iSongBook.
The bottom line: Though it lacks a built-in dock for your iPod, the Tivoli SongBook is half the price of the similar iSongBook and offers comparable sound quality.

Great sound, lousy design
by zenbohemian on August 13, 2010
Pros: Sounds great. Easy to use. Fine tuning. Portable. Really really liked it for the first year.
Cons: I packed up the radio in a travel bag and put it in the car for a 3 hour trip. By the time I arrived the yellow plastic casing was very sticky. I can't get rid of the stickiness and now it seems to be getting much worse. Dirty and dust stick to it
Summary: It also isn't a very stable shape as it topples easily. But the worst is definitely the unbearable stickiness that it seems to acquire in hot weather.

Add that to the sensitive digital tuner, alarm clock, sleep timer, and built-in charger for NiMH/NiCAD batteries, and you have a first class portable clock radio. The unique rubberized coating helps to protect SongBook from Mother Nature's elements and from everyday wear and tear. Tivoli Audio even included a rear keyhole cut-out for easy wall mounting.
