[iTunes] Very new to this

[Mel Krewall]

Rick,
The iPod has a 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack. Radio Shack and other 
stores have an adapter that converts the headphone jack to RCA plugs 
that you can attach to your stereo. The music will be in true stereo. 
The iPod dock has an audio out jack so you can connect it in the same 
way. I currently have on order an adapter from Dension that will attach 
my iPod to my car's factory CD changer connector which will allow my 
stock radio to control my iPod and show the text from the iPod on my 
radio display. This in fact was the main reason I asked for an iPod for 
Christmas. So your iPod can act as a transportable music database, 
which I find really cool.
