What docking stations work with the ipod mini gen 2?

This is the old iPod mini (not nano), correct?

Apple still sells their "Universal Dock"

It may not come with the "adapter" for an iPod mini, but I always use my iPod nano on a larger dock with no special adapter, and it works fine. And it looks like you can still buy the adapter for the iPod mini

Well, I don't have any specific recommendations, since I've never used them myself. There are so many choices, just make sure the specs say it works with your older iPod model.

If you get a "plain" dock (like that Universal Dock), or an older version (no remote control) for cheap on eBay, it's not just for connecting to computers. It has a audio output jack (that gets a high quality line out signal from the iPod's dock connector). You can connect that to your stereo system's auxilliary input, or to any powered speakers (the type people connect to computers). For power, connect the docking cable to a USB power adapter instead of a computer's USB port.

And you can connect it to your computer too. Plus, if the speakers go bad (or you want better ones), you don't have to throw the whole gadget away. Just get new speakers, keep the dock.
