Mrs is on about getting one for her Sony player and asks the usual questions - How do they work, and compatability type stuff?

Any advise/recommendations greatly received.

The vast majority of docks are Apple specific and not compatible with the USB connection found at the bottom of a Sony Walkman. Sony make their own remote dock which plugs into their own brand of player and, depending on the cable used, can be hitched up to any hi-fi or dock with a 3.5mm input or twin RCA stereo input (the white and red ones). It just won't use the 30 pin Apple connector found at the front of most docks.

Logitech do a neat "dockless" version of their most popular speaker dock, with bluetooth or wired 3.5mm input. I've heard the dock version and it sounds pretty good for something so portable.

That said, Creative T10 speakers (with 3.5mm input) sound rather good for a fraction of the price, They just aren't so portable and need a mains input.
