I have a Creative Vision:M MP3 player, better than an IPOD, but thats a different story altogether. The MusicLink sounds good, but not displaying the track info on the screen made me shy away from it altogether. In any case, you can do what Mr. Kite said, its what I do. I bought a male to male 2.5 mm stereo connector, and run it to the auxilary port. Then you can control the song tracks from the unit, which I keep on my lap as I'm driving. Works out pretty nice for me....
