I love my Ipod. Last October, my car was broken into and they stole my stereo. So, I had to buy a new one. I bought and Ipod ready one. I have a little cord that plugs my Ipod into my stereo and now my Ipod plays through my stereo. It is awesome! You can also get an adaptor for radios that are not ipod ready, but they are not that great. It plays off the radio and you constantly have to change channels. I hated it.
Just some ideas for more ipod enjoyment.

Congrats on a fun win. I hope you love yours as much as I love mine. Also, the speaker systems have come way down in price. I highly recommend them too!
