For going to sleep to music from the IPod use the CLOCK app and for waking up from the radio use the radio app.

If you mean do this using the Beoplayer app, the radio stations are too limited and there isn't one I'd want to wake up to.

trustedreviews.com has done an in depth review of the BeoSound 8 and has given, mostly to my surprise, an overall 8/10.
