Ok, someone educate me.
On my boat, I have a radio which will accept an accessory input.
3.5mm plug.
I know I can run my IPhone thru it an play my ITunes.
I don't really want to use my IPhone to do that.
So, Im thinking about an IPod. Cheap, used, working are the perameters I am planning on dealing with.
Seems there are Nano, Mini, Classic, Touch, 1st Gen - 6 Gen units available on CL and ebay by the hundreds.
What I want to know is, which of these will allow me to plug in a 3.5 cable and run it to my radio? Are headphone jacks 3.5? and is that what I would use? Do these things have a speaker? and if so, will inserting the cable mute the speaker?
Which would allow me to not only load my ITunes collection (which isn't huge), but also allow me to copy some of my CD's from my computer to the IPad.
Battery life isn't a big concern, providing, I can use my "lighter" USB adapter to keep it charged up.
Are songs selectable individually? Shuffle? or do they just play top to bottom?
I don't care about address books, calender, etc. I only want a music library.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sarcastic comments are expected.
