Anyone know if there is such a thing available? I have an mp3 deck with an aux (xm, ipod, etc) rca input. I was thinking...If i had a cable which would convert a usb signal to rca's then i could play new mp3's through my usb pen drive as i rip them, without having to burn a new disk everytime. So much quicker and easier and cheaper. If an adapter like this doesn't exist already remember it was my idea! posted_image

thanks

USB outputs digital information, not analog audio, so there must be a converter (DAC) process.  There are several devices like this.  Sometimes Google is your friend:

Here's one, Here's one, Here's another one.

yikes... $50...

I suppose i can burn a lot of cd's for $50.

Do you think there would be any problems with the pen drive as the "driver" instead of a pc, as the part is intended?

Thanks again.

Hard to say.  They usually require power (delivered via the USB bus) but I don't know if your unit will power them.  Does it have batteries?  If not, then it is designed to BE powered via the USB - from a computer.
