Completely new to this "iPod" whatchamacallit

UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Chareth CutestoryLawyer of the SeaRegistered User regular
I recently (and finally) copied my complete CD collection to my computer, an on-and-off project that took me a couple months. So now I have roughly 15,000 songs sitting on my computer...and an iPod Shuffle that I previously had no longer suffices (holds about 250 songs, roughly).

Needless to say, I'm in the market for a new iPod.

I've decided on the 80GB iPod Classic, but there's a bit of info I can't seem to find anywhere: Does this thing have a standard auxiliary port? With my current Shuffle, the nice thing about it is I just connect a basic, $4 auxiliary cable from my car's CD player aux port into the Shuffle and I have music flowing.

Does the iPod Classic have an auxiliary port that these specs are neglecting to mention? Will I need something special to play it in my car? Keep in mind it doesn't have to be a car charger, it just has to simply play it through the radio. I've read something about the iPod taking the spot of a standard FM station, but that seems kind of needlessly complicated when compared to the Shuffle.

Help please.

    By auxiliary port do you mean the dock connector? All iPods have those, I think. Dock Connector and Headphone Jack.

    Uhh, it's got a headphone jack. Just turn the volume to about half and plug it in. It's that simple.

    No, by auxiliary port I just meant something I can plug a standard auxiliary cable into.

    Anyways, my question was answered by a friend who got online a few minutes ago, so mods can go ahead and lock this.

    Thanks anyways.

    A handy, high-quality stereo cable to connect your iPod, iPhone or other music player to car stereos, boomboxes, home entertainment systems - anything that uses a 1/8"_(3.5mm) stereo-mini port for headphone or auxiliary audio input.

    * 1/8"(3.5mm) stereo-mini connector cable
    Also known as a headphone jack.

    Any particular reason why an iPod? There are other rockin' players.

    Gogo Zune 80GB. Sold off my ipod 80GB to some sap on Craigslist once I got my lovely 'ol Zune.

    Worst case you might need a mini-jack to RCA adapter for a stereo hookup. Like 6 bucks at Radioshack or somewhere similar.
