Tivoli Audio Wireless Model CD Player (White)

Nothing should be this complicated! I spent hours fiddling around with the ridiculous Tivoli Audio app and my new Model CD. After multiple attempts trying to connect the unit to my B+O speakers, with no success, I gave up. Defeated, I finally connected through the 'line out' mode only to find that the Model CD could not even get through one track without skipping, freezing, and then replaying the track from the start. I tried three different CD's with identical results. I had such high hopes given the brand. What an embarrassing product for the Tivoli Audio name.

Simply put, do not purchase this device -- or any other Tivoli Audio device from their ART/wireless line. Please, don't buy it. You will regret it immediately once the items arrive and you try to get everything set-up and connected. I ordered directly from the company and it arrived fine. But the devices are so poorly designed that I'm going to chuck everything into the bin. Nearly everything needs to be controlled through an old, out-dated, and poorly designed smartphone app. It seems that they've stopped supporting the app and I have the feeling that they're trying to dump all of the products from their wireless ART line by drastically marking-down the prices. For example, I spent nearly 10 minutes simply trying to change the FM radio station to another frequency using the phone app... because it is THE ONLY WAY you can change a radio station. There is no physical tuning knob or manual way to adjust the station. It requires you to do everything through a crummy app. Its so disappointing. Save yourself the headache and frustration... Seriously, skip this CD player and every other Tivoli Audio device that is part of the wireless ART line.

This looks chic and hip: in reality it is a total piece of rubbish. The touch interface is completely unpredictable and infuriating to use; the volume is haphazard. Oftentimes it fails to work for no apparent reason or frequently cuts out. What I want is a CD player...that works reliably. This is not it.
