The Apple iPod is, hands down, the most popular portable music player on the market. But don't just plop your iPod in the recharger when you're at home; all your playlists, songs, and podcasts can be put to just as much use when you're stationary as when you're on the road. With the use of a simple adapter cable or the purchase of Apple's affordable iPod dock, the iPod can be connected to any home stereo or even to most portable boomboxes. The Klipsch iGroove is an iPod-centric speaker systems that offers plug-and-play operation and great sound quality. The Tivoli Audio iSongBook and the iHome iH5 add iPod docks to tabletop and clock radios, respectively, so you can opt for your favorite playlist when there's nothing good on the AM or FM dial. You can even stream music from your iPod to your home stereo wirelessly with the Belkin TuneStage or the Logitech Wireless Music System. And for the ultimate in iPod luxury, consider the Denon S-301--a sexy all-in-one virtual-surround home-theater system that lets you navigate the playlist on a connected iPod via your TV screen.

Review summary	Klipsch's new iGroove iPod speaker trumps the competition's tweeterless models.	The Tivoli Audio iSongBook is attractively designed and offers decent features, but it should sound better at this price.	The Belkin TuneStage makes it easy to play back your iPod's music over your home stereo.	For iPod owners in the market for a clock radio, the iHome iH5 is an attractive option.	Logitech's hassle-free Wireless Music System bridges the gap between any MP3 player and your home stereo.	With its abundant feature set, great sound quality, eye-catching design, and superlative ease of use, iPod-friendly Denon S-301 2.1 home-theater system is the best we've reviewed so far.
