I found this exerpt:<br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>As someone who cares not only about "music" (weak) but also about sound (sweet), I can finally have in iPod a convenient, portable, audiophile solution. With a Radio Shack audio patch cord (Steve, would it kill you to include the @#$$% $2 cable in the box?) I can load up an iPod with a decent CD-quality music collection (more than 100 songs in good old CD format), plug it into any stereo system, and listen to music that sounds 99.9% as good as a real CD played on that stereo system. No more lugging dozens of CDs to parties; no more foregoing the music of my choice when I travel to visit friends and family; and no more turning on the CD changer and amplifier on the second floor, running down to the first floor to relax, running back up the stairs to adjust the volume or change out a CD, etc, etc, blech. I can just plug an iPod into anything with an amp and speakers and I'm good to go. And if I want to compromise between good sound and high capacity, I can load up more than 400 mp3s encoded at 320kbps and do the same thing.<p><hr></blockquote><p>from MacOpinion<br>I found the cable to hook up to the stereo and one to hook up to speakers here.<br>Hope it helps!<br><br><br>

I don't want to bad-mouth a site, at least not quite yet. But (you knew there was a but coming, now, didn't you?) . . . . I ordered an ethernet adapter from those folks about a week and a half ago, and so far all I've gotten from them is the email acknowledging the order. The site claimed that the product was in stock, so I don't know what the hold up is. Seeing Lori's post reminded me that I wanted to email them about the order, so I just did it. Will let you know what happens.<br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"

Yup, you just need an RCA plug. I use mine with my home stereo, it is great. 10 hours of non-stop music. The RCA plug is just two regular stereo connectors at the stereo and then one that goes to the iPod. Like a "Y."<br><br>

I got an email back today, which says that the item was back-ordered, but that it shipped today (what a coincidence) and gave me an UPS tracking number. I guess I wouldn't mind, except that it took an email from me to get them to notify me of what was going on. That should happen automatically.<br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"

Here's another alternative. The iRock (not the MacBabe one )<br><br>I have something like this (but not specifically an iRock) for my car and it works pretty nicely. The sound will be a little better with a true cable, but this will link the Pod with any FM receiver and keeps things mobile!<br><br>
I have that. Problem is, when you take a long drive, you have to switch the frequencies.<br><br>[color:red]the banana has left the building</font color=red>
