Amazing!

All the years I’ve been using these machines and I never knew this.

Thanks to a little-known technology (*) you can, just about, listen to most portable MP3 players without headphones or external speakers.

A very low level but audible signal is given off at the 3.5mm jack out socket.

You will need to be in a very quiet environment and you will probably not be able to pick up very quiet, acoustic music. But anything with a big thumping beat you should be able to pick out quite clearly (at a distance of up to 5 cm from the ear).

I’m not sure it works with ipods, but I have tried with 3 non-Apple machines.
