    I would like to know the different ways to play my ipod over my stereo.

    What about this item that I have seen called " DLO HomeDeck "

    What if I wanted to be able to take my ipod to a friends house and play my music over there stereo? Is there a way to do this with a fm transmitter and are they any good. Also what would be the battery life of of a 2nd gen. ipod nano be? Just got this for Christmas for my son and don't know much about it.

    Please help.

    Thanks

    Most stereos have aux in jacks for audio- RCA ports, to be exact. You can buy cables (cheap) that essentially attack a headphone-out jack (like the one on a ipod) to an RCA-in jack (i.e. the aux in on a stereo, television, or basically any other audio device). This is a much better solution to using a FM transmitter or tape adapter, as both are subject to a phenomenal loss of quality/fidelity. They're also much cheaper. Essentially, you're looking for one of these:

    although there are cheaper versions, this is just an example.
