There's a headphone jack to rca output cable available at most stores which costs about $5. It's simple to find and can do what you need, hook up an mp3 player to a stereo. Now you just have to pick an mp3 player.
I want to convert my CD library to MP3's in my PC and transfer the MP3 files to a ''shelf'' MP3 player that has conventional audio outputs to plug into my stereo system.
I can't find a solution. Any suggestions
