[QUOTE="mathogre, post: 397995, member: 25890"] My two ways are via fm transmitter and cassette adapter. Here's a link to my fm setup (with XM): [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=375261&postcount=715[/url] FM My fm transmitter is actually my XM satellite radio device. It has an auxilliary input that I use with my iPod shuffle. There are also fm xmitters for iPods, so my guess is they operate similarly. The plus with fm is you can use it reliably. The minus is that if you travel and you're in a relatively congested area (US northeast corridor, for instance), you'll invariably encounter a need to change radio frequencies. That's when you can use the... Cassette Adapter I use the Sony model CPA-9C available through Apple. I've tried others, and this one works well, though it's not particularly durable. My first one lasted around 6 months with fairly steady use. Then the electronics inside apparently fried. Radio Shack has one, but for me the cassette transport wheels were unacceptably noisy after a couple of months. I also tried a Monster brand adapter, but it kept causing my cassette deck to reverse direction so it was promptly returned. (My car's audio system is a built-in Bose system.) Hope this helps!
