How to Pair an iPod With a Bluetooth Adapter
iPods are popular MP3 music playing devices. With the exception of some iPod Touch devices, most iPods do not have Bluetooth wireless capability built in. Users that want to cut the cord and use Bluetooth earphones with their iPod have to pick up an iPod Bluetooth adapter. The reward is a convenient, wire-free way to listen to music without getting tangled up in cables.
