I would like to connect an iPod 160 Gb Classic to my hi-fi (Rotel RA-O4 amp) for the convenience of playlists etc, but I'm not sure I fully understand the options here.
Is it as simple as buying a connecting lead and plugging one end into the headphone jack on my iPod with the other end going into the "Media Player" jack on the front of the amp?
What are the advantages of going with a dock as opposed to the above solution (apart from the fact that many docks offer remote control)? I've looked at these docks here:

....but, unfortunately, none of them are suitable for an iPod Classic. Can anyone recommend a good dock which could accommodate an iPod Classic?
Any help would be much appreciated
