Just in case anyone isn't aware, the monster icarcharger is a really nice charger for the ipod with built in status lights and its farily compact. The really nice feature though that isn't even advertised (even on their website) is that the charger has a 1/8th inch stereo line output at the base of the connector. It's really weird because the feature isn't even listed on the package! I just noticed what looked like a 1/8th inch input on the side. Anyhow it works just fine. I'm using with the wired Audiovox FM modulator so i can charge the ipod and have a line out at the same time that sounds great....
