But yes you can use the laptop as an mp3 player. What you will need to do is find a head unit with an aux input. Most of the major brands mid to high level models have the option of aux input Most of them sell a separate adapter that lets you tap into the aux from an rca connection. But as far as I know there is not head unit that allows you to connect to a USB or serial connection. You will need to use a 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Male to Dual RCA Males https://www.pccables.com/cgi-bin/orders6.cgi?action=Showitem&id=ID557863&partno=05002&search=SOUND&rsite=goto.pc_cables&rcode
