Hi folks:
I want to connect my wife's 15G iPod to the home stereo. Wireless would be good, but not required. What's the best solution?

get a AUX (those red and white plugs) to 3.5mm Audio cable...costs about $7.. just so long as your Stereo has an AUX A/V or any A/V port.

so go to radioshack and ask for "3.5mm audio male to Y Audio male"

to make it easy to controle i would also buy one of those iPod docks with the remote/charger/and 3.5mm plug in the back (they cost like $30) annd booom amazing setup to stereo. hope this helps

I'm personally interested in the DLO Homedock Deluxe.

It says you can connect it to your TV and navigate the iPod menus through the TV screen. It would certainly be better than having to walk up to the iPod just to read what's on the screen.

I believe www.ilounge.com had a review about it somewhere on their website.

Belkin has a nice set of cables for stereo connection here http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProdu...duct_Id=172348 . I have that for my mini. They look very nice. I was able to get them for $9 at the BX clearance rack, unopened.
