I purchased the "Phillips SJM3151 Universal Remote for iPod" about a month ago and it works exactly like I hoped it would. I use it becasue I have speakers downstars and outside that are hooked up to my stereo upstairs - so I can plug my iPod into the stereo and use this remote anywhere inside or outside the house to adjust the volume, skip to the next song, change the playlist etc. All you do is plug it in, put your iPod in it, and start using it. I have an 80GB iPod (with about 70GB of music on it) and was thrilled that it connects to the iPod right away (you push the button with the iPod picture on it). The menu options are "Playlists", "Artists", "Albums", and "Songs". When I select any of these menu options my stuff comes up right away, even with 70GB. The screen displays 5 things at a time and you can navagate down (one line) or page down (next 5), which the unit does quickly. The screen goes blank to conserve battery life several seconds after using it. The remote feels solid and has a familiar layout. One thing to mention is that even though this is a Universal Remote, only the iPod can be controlled without "line of sight" to the unit.I read that some of the other models have to import lists from the iPod when you first set it up. Reviewers of those models said this was a pain becasue it has to re-import when you add or change stuff or if you plug in a different iPod. Not so with this one - you just put any iPod in the dock and start controlling it with this remote.One minor things I wish it did - I can't start the iPod playing without using the remote. This is becasue when you put it in the dock the iPod changes to that "ok to unplug" screen. Even if I start it playing first, it stops when you plug it into the dock.To sum it up - simple to use, excellent quality, works like it came with my iPod, love it.

By Dan
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.
