DYNEX makes a really cheap dock that fits all of the older iPods. You can get them on ebay or Amazon for like $20. They even come with a remote which controls the iPod when in the dock. I have several and like how they function. They have an analog output jack to RCA connector which goes into almost all analog inputs. The only drawback is that the signal from the iPod is less and you have to turn the volume up more. You can also use the 3.5 mm jack-RCA cable to feed a processor directly from the earphone output to a tape input connection.
As XenonMan stated^^^ Just a simple RCA hookup for most docks. A dedicated iPod connector is another option like my cheapo Pioneer receiver has. I can plug my iPod directly to the supplied cable which plugs into a socket on the front of the receiver. I can use the remote included with the Pioneer to control the iPod, but is limited in functionality.
