    Apart from the casette adaptor / FM transmitter options, what are people using at home with their portable mp3 players ?

    Would they be able to power like a standard hifi amp ?

    Perhaps post your setup ?

    Yep what he said. Transmitters are crap, at best it is going to be fm quality. Tapes are alright, but even cheapo systems have auxilary phono in these days. I can plug mine in to a cheapo alba surround sound system that cost €75 INCLUDING a divx dvd player.

    Since all my music is on the player I am getting a decent surround system for my room. If you are into your sound quality you can get a iriver H1xx which has optical out, lots of stereos and surround systems have optical input.

    Belkin are doing something now called Tunestage

    http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Product_Id=202792

    Its a bluetooth wireless transmitter so you can carry around your player within 10metres of your hifi and it will play through your speakers.It says its for I-pods but I'm wondering is that just a sales pitch and can it be used on any player.

    Looks good anyway,saw them on ebay for a bout 150Eu

    Ask in Peats/Maplin/another electronics store for a mini jack to phono lead.

    Check on the back of your hi fi if you have little white and red ports and if you do you can plug straight from the headphone slot into these ports using that cable
