Is there any way to use a radio as speakers for an mp3 player?

If something similar to what I said exists, please mention it.

This is what my co-worker tells me. He said that you don't plug anything in, but that may not be right. Dunno

We're not allowed to listen to our mp3 players while working, but there are several radios (some with tape decks) all over. So if I could have my mp3 library play on those systems... that would be too awesome

If you have an iPod you can use the iTrip adaptor to wirelessly hook up your iPod to any FM radio.

One of the radios has a tape deck. I might be around that one the most, so.. good...

That doesn't mention mp3 players that I can see. But same deal, just as long as there's a headphone jack?

Is there anything like that for Creative players?

- people are ripping into the iTrip in Yis's link anyhow

If nothing else you can go with a portable FM transmitter. Mana mentioned the Belkin models, but I'm currently using the Arkon's cheap alternative in my car; the radio works just fine but the tape deck is broken and I needed a cheap way to play tunes of a portable player. The model I link to is like the Belkin Tunecast II except a) it's analog, not digital and b) it's thirty bucks less. It allows you to broadcast a short distance anywhere on the FM dial and runs off batteries or your car's cigarette lighter outlet. It works reasonably well, but if you can use a line-in solution (such as a casette adapter or just plugging into the back of the radio) that's a better bet. However, if you're in a single location you'll avoid the problem of having to re-adjust the station you're broadcasting while driving on road trips or whatnot. At any rate, for twenty bucks it's not exactly a devistating investment. Let us know what you figure out!
