Included with some iPod models but also available separately, Docks take the hassle out of dealing with cables when you connect your iPod or iPod mini to a computer. You connect the Dock to the cable instead of your iPod. When you want to connect your iPod to your computer, you simply drop it in the Dock. The connection is made more easily and quickly than using a cable alone. Docks also make a great way to store and display your iPod, not to mention making it possible to route the cables so you can keep them out of sight.
Docks also include a Line Out port that you can use to send the iPod’s output to any powered audio device, such as powered speakers, the amplifier for your home stereo, and so on. I highly recommend that you get at least one Dock if you don’t have one already. The convenience is well worth the cost; the added Line Out port is very useful, too. If you use your iPod with more than one computer, consider adding a Dock to each computer you use regularly.
