$1 Ipod to Stereo Connection
Intro: $1 Ipod to Stereo Connection
For some reason people are surprised when I tell them this, so I decided I'd post it for all. This works for anything that has a headphone jack (e.g. laptop or desktop computer, cell phone, walkman, etc).
You just have to buy a $1 cable from a dollar store.
Picture 1
Plug one end into your ipod's earphone jack, the other end into your stereo's "aux in" or "video aux in" jacks (red and white).
Pictures 2 and 3
Then click your stereo buttons to put it into "aux mode" and press play on your ipod.
Picture 4
Done.

I would improve this by using an LOD cable or LOD to female 3.5mm to female 3.5mm adapter.
Amplifying fro the headphone jack will cause unnessesary distortion and artifact in the music.

There are quite a few people out there who are using this simple jack to play their music NOT through their auxilary stereo input, but rather an input jack on an amplifier (I've seen more than one supporting this usage on a guitar amplifier) I was just clarifying that point, as it can destroy expensive equipment.
As for that last bit, I'm sober, as of right now.
