Give your iPod speakers

Now that you've taken the time and effort to put your entire music collection on that small, white rectangular contraption, you may notice that it's trapped there inside your headphones. Here's how to set your music free again.

Why you should give your iPod speakers

What the editors say
1

Play that funky music, white toy.

That little white headphone jack is fine for private listening, but the jams on your jam-packed 'Pod just can't be properly kicked out by earbuds. Let your friends enjoy your musical taste and save cash on a DJ by setting the white wonder on Shuffle and turning up the volume.

2

Fill the empty air.

Sometimes it's best to have music as just background, tinkling away as a soundtrack to doing the dishes, working out, cleaning the catbox, or watching MTV on mute. A speaker-sportin' iPod can fill a work or play room with inoffensive jingles or real music.

Discs, be gone forever!

With an iPod in your home-stereo system you can finally ditch the CDs, records, and tapes, not to mention their requisite players cluttering your life. Sure, you'll trade some sound quality, but isn't that a small price to pay for gleaming white convenience?
