XtremeMac’s Tango Studio
October 18, 2007 | by Arlen Schweiger

You’ll definitely be doing the tango when you get to turn up the volume on this iPod audio system.

XtremeMac’s Tango Studio costs just $79.95 and lets you dock your iPod into a compact desktop system that features a pair of 3-inch full-range speakers and stereo amplifier.

There’s a classic blue LED display to let you know status of the volume, operating mode and radio frequency info—for the built-in FM radio that’s also included. The display is even hidden behind the system’s cloth grille when not in use, but clearly readable when it’s on.

The Tango Studio will charge your iPod while it’s docked, and if you want to listen to another device there’s an auxiliary input jack in back. A remote control lets you fire away at the system from up to 50 feet away.

It all depends on how much you want to spend, and what you intend to use the ipod for. If you have a large music library and would like to use the ipod as a storage device, you probably want the one from the classic line of ipods (starting at $249 for 80-160 gbytes). If you want to listen to some music, and view an occasional video the new nanos are awesome (start at $149 4-8 gbytes). If you want an ipod for listening to while you jog or ride a bike, or just a cheap/small ipod, the shuffle will do (start at $79). And then there are the cool ipods, including the iPhone and iPod touch. The iPhone requires a phone contract to use it, but the iPod touch doesn’t. It has one of the nicest user-interfaces of any portable music devices (touch starts at $299 for 8-16 gbytes, iPhone at $399). If you are not sure, I would opt for the iPod classic. It can do most everything the other iPods can do, including play video, and has the best cost per storage capacity, allowing you and your entertainment library to grow. Also, one thing to remember is that you will need a personal computer to use any of these devices, as that is how you get content onto them—either PC or Mac. Enjoy your new iPod!
