If you like to hook your iPod to a stereo, chances are you are using a 3.5mm stereo jack to RCA lead. This cable, while costing roughly the same connects to the dock connector at the bottom of the iPod and provides a true line-out from the device, and not just a tap to the iPod's outputs. This means that the iPod volume control is not involved at all and you use the stereo to control volume. As the signal level coming out the dock connector is matched to what stereos expect at their line inputs, the sound you get using this cable is way better than you get from a cable hooked into your headphone socket.

Buy this cable, it is way cheaper than a dock for your iPod, so it does not charge the iPod, but then I don't know of many people who charge their iPods in a dock.

This cable is EXACTLY what "Colton Cat" described and the sound of the ipod using this cheap cable, is totally and absolutely the bomb. I just plugged my ipod into my home stereo and can't believe the difference in the sound, between using the headphone jack (before) and now, directly input into the iPod. The sound is fuller and richer, with a greater frequency response seen on my amp guage and in my own very ears. I'll never by a headphone to receiver jack again. Can't believe what we've been missing all these years.

This connector is terrific. Allows me to listen to my playlists on the home stereo. It's great, although I already blew out my subwoofer lol! The sound is much better than using the mic out. The only downside is that it does not charge the iPod as many have stated, and since the dock connector is being used, you can't have it plugged into an outlet at the same time. I haven't found it to be that big of an issue though... charge it when not is use, and you have at least 3-4 hours or more of play time. The cord itself is not mega-long, so if your stereo equipment is tucked away in an entertainment center, it could prove slightly difficult, but not too bad. I actually ordered my second one today so I have them always plugged in and ready for the ipod in whichever room I feel like listening to it, rather than the trouble of the move back and forth. I highly recommend this product. Plus, $15 and free shipping (with Prime membership, or an order over $25) how can you beat that?

This cable works great with my iPod. FYI... it does not work with the iPhone. There is no claim that it does work with the iPhone. I'm just posting this for the benefit of those who are thinking of giving it a try.

The title says it all. It doesn't work with my new iPod Nano 5G. The iPod just plays music through it's own little speaker, rather than routing it through this cable. :(

I bought this product to use with my iPod Classic...it does not work. Wish the description said this.

Ordered this cable for providing line out audio from my 3rd gen Ipod Touch to my headphone amp with RCA L/R inputs. No luck. No sound. Called cablestogo and they confirmed that this cable is not the right product.

I purchased this to plug into my iPod Touch 2nd Gen. Apple changed the configuration of the pins on the touch so it will not provide you with a line out signal. It does work with my 4th Gen iPod video though.

If you want a direct audio connect for your iPod to your stereo or surround system, these cables are the way to go. I just plugged them into one of my Auxiliary inputs on the back of my receiver and the other end into my iPod Classic. Play any audio files on your 'pod and you get great sound from your full speaker system.

One caveat: if you want to do a lot of changing songs, Podcasts or whatever, you'll have to do it while the player is leashed by the 22" cable. Thus this will work best with play lists sizeable enough to let you touch play and leave it be.

I bought this item to use with my iPod Touch (2nd Generation).
It will not work with mine, so am returning it to Amazon.
