The Sansa is a good player but it will NOT work with iPod accesories, including your reciever dock.
An iPod connector will fit in the Sansa but the internal wiring is different, meaning power will be fed
somewhere it's not supposed to go and your Sansa will be fried. Far as I know, iPod connectors are
proprietary and will not work with any other brand of player, even if they physically fit together.
