Is there any way you can play mp3s through your mp3 player through your home stereo reciever without using a car/home stereo converter?
what are you trying to play the mp3 from? A portable mp3 player? your computer? if so, you can easily connect either to your home stereo. all you should need it a 1/8" stereo mini plug to RCA stereo (2 rca plugs...red & white) cable. connect the mini plug (same as a headphone) to the output of the mp3 player or speaker out of your computer sound card, and connect the RCA plugs to an unused audio input on your home stereo.
