How to Play an iTouch on a Stereo

Listen to your iTouch on any stereo.

You can play the music on your iTouch through a stereo by using accessories such as a 3.5 mm stereo cable, an FM transmitter or a cassette adaptor. Of the these three accessories, the 3.5 mm stereo cable offers the best sound, but not all stereos have the necessary port. FM transmitters work on virtually any stereo but the sound can get distorted by interferences in the airwaves. Cassette adaptors are beneficial if you are using an older stereo but the sound quality tends to be mediocre.
