Hi, Dick,

This has become a bit of a problem, actually. The most common thing now 
is an iPod dock, but many have 3.5 mm stereo inputs and/or RCA stereo 
inputs for "aux" inputs. So if you don't dock your iPod to it, you can 
use a "walkman" CD, Minidisc, or cassette player. Many have radios built-in.

Not as convenient as one-piece. I find lots of CD walkman-type devices 
at garage sales, but none are as nice as the two I found refurb'd at the 
Sony Outlet store in Lancaster PA in the 90s--those had SPDIF optical 
outputs!

Good luck!

Cheers,

Richard
