“Is there a solution for interruptions in sound when connected to iPod Touch? Our Bose Soundlink Mini is two weeks old, using with an iPod Touch 4th gen-- great sound! However, we are experiencing frequent brief hiccups (tiny interruptions in continuous sound flow), whether using music stored on the iPod or streaming radio through different wifi broadband networks. This ruins the value of this speaker for us. Is there a fix? Would a newer iPod or iPad work any better?”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on how far away you are from the speaker. Bluetooth has a theoretical range of 30 ft but that's if it's a clear shot outdoors without anything between your iPod and the speaker. I also know that the 4G iPod touch's Bluetooth radio has a smaller range than my iPad mini and iPhone 5. A newer device may work better. I do recall getting some audio dropout in my car's Bluetooth system (aftermarket, I installed it) with my 4G iPod touch despite it sitting right next to the car's Bluetooth receiver. I don't experience Bluetooth dropout with my iPhone 5 in my car and it stays in my pocket. I haven't experienced audio dropout with my iPhone 5 or iPad mini and my SoundLink Mini system with normal use. I do when I go from my bathroom to living room but that's past the 30 ft mark and it goes through three walls.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Update: I purchased an iPod Touch 5th Gen (32 g) and find there is NO problem with the interruptions on my Bose SoundLink Mini speaker. Plus I can use it from another room at the same time as I search the internet on it or use other apps with the iPod. I believe it is the limited memory in the 4th gen iPod that was causing mye problems.
I would recommend:
