I'm fraidy cat when it comes to hooking expensive things up to electricity when I am not sure it is OK.

I bought the 40. I - perhaps foolishly - recorded alot of my classical music in the Apple loss-less or mp3 at 192 bits. Big file, I hear, are hard on the power consumption. Since I will use the iPod through some decent sound systems, I do want good reproduction even on those pure tone piece like oboe and violin solos and sonatas. Thoughts?
Teacher49,

I've used the Monster iPod cig lighter adapter in both cars and boats with no troubles at all. They also make a new iAir charger (http://www.monstercable.com/computer...r.asp?pin=2504) which provides both EmPower and cig lighter plugs for the latest generation iPods.

Cheers,
Chris
