Music, Music Everywhere

摘要

It all started with a Christmas gift -an iPod for my father. His new car has a portable music player input jack, suitable for iPods or any porta-ble music device, and my brother gave him an adaptor for his home stereo and a mini-speaker unit for travel. He was set. "Now you can store all your music in one place and bring it with you anywhere," we told him. But then came an unanticipated question: "Can I use it on the boat?" The answer was no, but soon became yes because we added an input jack to the boat's existing Clarion marine stereo - an easy project that can typically be accom-plished for less than $100. In fact, the hardest part is determining what options are available for a par-ticular brand and model of stereo and which is the best choice for your boat. For advice, I turned to Terry Jones. His Raleigh, North Carolina-based company, Audio Allies, has been helping consumers make these choices for six years.
