Anyone know if I can use the output from an MP3 player to connect to an input of an old component stereo system?

you mean like a line in connection? i don't see why not. put the volume on the mp3 on low and work it up as needed.

I use the microphone jack on my vintage Sansui.
I imagine using an input would work just fine.

I connect my iPod to my stereo with a mini-plug to pair of RCA jacks. Hooked up to the line inputs (CD input I think.) Works very well.

like they said.
1/8th to rca will work if you want to put in on L&R inputs.. Just remember when you find the cable that not separated for left and right.
this would work

or if you want to put the setup further away from the input

and put another rca cable to get you the rest of the way.
edit: lol. like he said. haha.. damn it took me awhile to write that. lol.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
I just realized that the MP3 player charges through the USB connection, which I don't have in my workshop. Is there such thing as a USB charger or adapter that I can plug into a wall outlet?
yes there is, i got one off of ebay, i run my ipod through my old stereo in the shop but i use the tape deck adapter, works just fine

Should be fine to use an input. Just don't try to use the Phono input.

Save yourself a few dollars and go to Monoprice.com Great cables and excellent prices. Make sure you have your ipod volume to max, or you'll have issues getting any volume thru the stereo.
