iPoding at home

I like to listen to my iPod at the gym. Or using the iTrip in my car. But when I'm at home, I miss my iPod. Sure, I can listen to iTunes through my subpar speakers on my laptop or I could buy fancy iPod speakers. But I'd really like to use my iTrip in my house linked with a radio station. I've had bad luck trying this (ok I was using a clock radio when I tried) but even using a radio with an antennae I've been unable to get my iTrip to connect as well as it works in my car.

Does anyone have an explaination for this? I think the problem could be solved by buying a digital radio - John had one that was part of the TV stereo system and I could get that to work well when I was in Boston. Do you have any suggestions on making this work - had any luck yourself?

I use my iPod/iTrip at home on my older-than-dirt Aiwa stereo. You're welcome to come over and try it out... maybe that will help determine if it's the iTrip or the clock radio?

I use my iPod at work with these speakers...they sound really good and were cheap.

this weekend i went to best buy and bought a cord for $14. one end hooks into the headphone jack on your ipod and one end hooks into the white/red plug on your tv/stereo/etc. its great. now i listen to my ipod through my tv which has better speakers. similarly you can hook the one end into the headphone jack on your laptop if you want to have your whole itunes available. if i was more technologically savvy, i could tell you the name of the cord. but im not so i cant. just do what i did and go to best buy and describe to the sales associate...
