how'd they do that?

I have the original radio/tape deck in my '88 and for various reasons am 
not planning on changing it. But I'd like to tote around a portable media 
player and listen to it without headphones. Is there any kind of unit 
that can send a signal to my _old fashioned stereo_ so my stereo system 
will amplify the portable media player?

Have any of you actually done this? How'd you do it?

Tess,  there are 'car kits' available for MP3 players (which is what I assume  you're talking about) that consist of the part that looks like a  cassette tape with a cable that plugs into the MP3 player. It runs just  like a cassette tape but plays the MP3 player music. I believe there  are also kits which will transmit through a certain FM channel. I have  been considering getting something for my Dell Jukebox mini player but  am not really sure what the sound quality is like on either of them.
