From computer to stereo - MP3 Connector

MP3 Connector

Hear PC audio through both home stereo and computer speakers simultaneously, for higher quality and more sound impact. More than just a home stereo connector.

You can enjoy music downloads, Internet radio, computer games, movies and other digital audio through your high-quality home stereo speakers without disconnecting your computer speakers.

Listen to your MP3 music library in another room. The MP3 Connector is available in lengths of 25 feet (7.62 meters) and 50 feet (15.24 meters) so you can easily hook up your computer or portable audio device to your home stereo, even if they're in completely different rooms.

Installing the MP3 Connector could not be easier:

1. First plug the single male end of the MP3 Connector into the audio output jack of your PC.
2. Then plug your computer speaker cable into the back of the MP3 Connector. Your computer speakers will now work as usual.
3. The true magic comes when you plug the "RCA" ends of the MP3 Connector into the audio input jacks of your home stereo. Now you can enjoy all of your PC audio through both your high-quality stereo speakers and computer speakers at the same time.

Works with any digital audio file and media player

• Any digital audio or media file from your computer or portable device can be played on your home stereo including mp3, Internet radio, Windows Media, iTunes music, Real audio, Quicktime media, computer games, movies and more.

• Any media player on your computer can have playback on your home stereo including Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, iTunes, Musicmatch Jukebox, Winamp, Yahoo Music Engine and more.

Transfer cassette tapes and LPs to your computer (I use INport for this function)

• make a cassette tape of your MP3 files: If you have a tape recorder or other recording device connected to the tape loop inputs of the stereo, you can make recordings of the PC audio output. Simply hit record on your stereo cassette player while your computer is playing music and you will then be able to listen to your MP3 collection anywhere.
  

• make MP3 copies of your albums and cassettes: Simply plug the mini-plug of the MP3 Connector into the audio input jack of your computer and connect the two RCA plugs into the "Rec." outputs of your stereo. Then use an MP3 player such as Musicmatch Jukebox to record the output of your stereo as an MP3 file.
  

100% Plug and Play, no drivers or software to install. Compatible with computers and portable devices. Compatible with any portable music player. Compatible with all standard Windows and Mac computers (desktop or laptop), portable audio devices (including the iPod and other MP3 players), PDA devices, Pocket PC devices and more.

In addition, since the MP3 Connector is truly "plug and play" it can be disconnected from one device and reconnected to another device in literally just seconds.

Compatible with Windows, Mac, iPod, and more devices

Update August 2009: Was afraid I would lose this functionality when I got my laptop because you are not supposed to attach this device through the headphone out port but it does, in fact, work just fine.
