Answer
Yes, the remote allows you to switch to the next song. You can even get to the menu on your iPod with it and select whether you want to listen to Artist, Album, or Songs and select which music you want to play. Another feature I was surprised with was you can even turn the alarm clock off with the remote if it's on the other side of the room! And you can set your alarm with the remote. The remote is an excellent feature with many functions.

I own a 5th Gen Nano which has the built in digital FM tuner. Will the DC290 alarm clock play the iPod if it is set to the iPod's FM tuner?
This may seem redundant since the radio comes with an FM tuner, but I am trying to tune in a weak classical public station in the middle of NYC. My iPod Nano is the only device in the house that reliably and beautifully tunes the station in.
Most alarm clock radios come with tuners that can only pull in strong commercial stations, so I don't want to assume this model is up to the task.
The specs only mention that this unit will play songs from a loaded playlist but nothing about other options like the tuner, or streaming services like the NPR app the other person asked about, or Pandora on an iPhone... which is another service I love to use. Will it do that?
As for the Nano, it's a huge oversight on Apple's part that the built in Alarm Clock doesn't allow for setting the FM tuner or even a loaded playlist as a wake up option... only those limited, and annoying, built in sounds.- Asked by Greg L from New York

Answer
Yes, it takes two AA batteries (not provided) which provides battery backup for the clock during a black (not enough power to power much else though)

Can the alarm be set independently/easily without docking a phone?
Some alarm clocks require that you configure the alarm with an app. I'd like to be able to set the alarm independently without having to dock my phone.
