I have the same radio in another 2008. There's no practical way of connecting an iPod directly - you can use one of the adapters that broadcasts to an FM frequency. I don't bother - i just burn CD-Rs on my Mac and put them in the changer. If you can tolerate the poor quality of MP3s, you could put many hours of music on up to 6 MP3 discs.

Poor Quality MP3????? I am going to assume you have no experience in how to correctly make an MP3.

First choose a ripper that will allow you to use an external encoder or it will allow you to install and use your own encoder. The rippers I use is EAC or Audiograbber. The encoder I use is LAME 3.98.

If you download music off the net, don't download MP3s. Download FLAC or some other lossless compression music file and make your own MP3.

I have NEVER had anyone been able to tell the difference between an original CD and an MP3 that I made from it. First our ears are not that good unless your using an old QDesign MP3 encoder, then anyone (even the tone deaf) can hear the difference.

MP3 Encoding has come a long way since the 1980s.
