Question

MP3 player for moms b-day

Mar 15, 2012 11:19AM PDT

I am looking to get my mom a MP3 player AND dock (can be a seperate dock).

I do not know much about mp3 players and docks. Can a MP3 player just be hooked to any stereo via a 3.5mm jack?

I was thinking about getting her this one.

If I am correct about the 3.5mm then I don't need to get her a "dock", if I am wrong, can you guys suggest a dock that will work (would prefer it also plays CDs). Thanks guys.
