Can I connect an MP3 player to an old stereo system (Panasonic, dual-tape-deck, phono, AM/FM, big speakers)?

chris g

Is it just a matter of finding the right cable(s) at Radio Shack? This has to be possible, no? I've never had an MP3 player (mock if you must) but I am thinking of getting one, and I have a killer stereo already and would like to keep using it.

Answer
Yes.
Buy your self an FM transmitter. they are often used to get an MP3 player to work in a car. Available from most good Auto stores
Under 30 Bucks.
Cassette adapters (Cheep ones) can stuff the heads of your deck through poor alignment (Rubbing) If the gap and angle of the electro magnetic transmitter is slightly out of alignment then the sound quality is also poor.
Cassette adapters are also becoming increasingly harder to find as not many people have cassette any more so most manufacturers donât make them anymoreâ¦
Cheep FM Transmitters may give you trouble through poor signal quality. Like anything you pay for what you get.
90% of Ipod users use FM

What's a good speaker system to hook up to an mp3 player?

I don't need more than a couple speakers because it's going in a small room, and I need it to be able to hook up to a Sony Walkman.

Answer
Simply get yourself some good powered speakers and you will have a nice little system, just choose wisely. I would recommend if your on a budget a pair of Tannoy 501a's which are $179 each. Very natural and musical.
