I have an IPOD on a sounddock type radio for down in my sewing room. It can get quite loud for when I have the quilt machine running so I can listen to it. I also have a set of portable speakers I bought years ago for my portable CD player which I haven't used in years now. Plus I added a small radio with a IPOD dock for the kitchen when I stuck up there for whatever reason. Then of course I have a setup for the car too when I'm on long trips. Made sure when I changed cars years ago it had the ability for "AUX" to plug my IPOD into and I have a holder that sticks to the windshield. Have one also for my GPS too. The holder I got for the IPOD also can hold a cell phone too as it adjusts to width.
