The short version, though, is that you want to use tracks that you know well and that are well-engineered and pretty evenly full range. A couple from my current test CD/playlist include "Let's Get Mesolithic" by Eddie From Ohio, "River Won't Flow" from Jason Robert Brown's "Songs for a New World", Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer", and Santana's "Maria Maria" (this one's not really evenly full range, but it's very solidly engineered, and a great low-end workout. More detail on the why's, and lots more songs, to follow... Mike--Can't say I have, but that cable's a lot more expensive than the 1.8" connector, and I'm too lazy to try to figure out the pinout of it , LOL. Not to mention that I don't actually want video and audio together at the same time....one more dangling end to put strain on connectors. I'd actually rather have two separate adaptors. I really liked the PocketDock that only had an 1/8" line level out, but now it looks like you need to get one that has both that and a firewire or USB out.

As I recall, the cables Apple sells have all 30 wires in them. Have you considered getting a dock connector cable and adding Audio and Video out connectors to it?

I've needed to set this up for myself for a long while, and never found the time. Plus everytime I think to ask our audio guy we're on site and way too busy!
