I'll admit that I'm not up to speed with hardware components designed for listening to music. Actually I'm way behind! I didn't know what a docking station was until today.
I heard someone say this this:
"If I were single... ipod witha BOSE dock all the way for your house or apartment! No questions asked, it is THE HOT SETUP! It's not as good as a full system but its something your guests will love!"
Question: do you really need a Bose or Altec Lansing docking station if you already have a quality 5.1 speaker system hooked up to your computer? For example, I have the Logitech Z5500's. I've never owned an MP3 player, that's how inexperienced I am with this subject. Thanks in advance.

I think you can plug your speakers into 3.5mm output jack on the mp3 player and get sound.
A docking station only has the advantage of also being a charger, so you don't depend on the battery of your mp3 player. However, these docking stations are usually only compatible with iPod(s)...and maybe couple of other players. In other words, you can just plug "any brand" mp3 player in there.
