Plug it into your iPod shuffle's headphone jack, and suddenly the little guy fits in your iPod speakers just like the big guys.Take Griffin Dock Adapter with you, and you can play your iPod shuffle wherever there's a set of Universal Dock speakers.

Griffin Dock Adapter for iPod shuffle 2G (White) Reviews
I tried it with my iHome alarm clock radio and my Phillips alarm clock radio. October 7, 2008 - This is an update to my previous review. You need to use your other hand to keep the dock seated. You can't listen at the same time, but that is a small inconvenience. I just realized there is a switch that you have to slide over to be able to charge. You can disregard the comment about not being able to charge the shuffle while in the dock adapter. If I could change my rating to 5 Stars, I would. I would have given this item 5 stars if it charged the shuffle when it is docked but it doesn't.
I use it at work so I just take the charging dock with me and plug it into a free USB port on my computer and charge it when necessary. Small inconvenience. The dock adapter fits nicely. This little dock adapter does exactly what it's supposed to do.allow you to dock your shuffle on a regular iPod dock. It will, however, come unseated if you just grab your shuffle and lift it out. It also does not work as an alarm, but that's a job for my 80 gig classic iPod. Good little product.
It allowed me to play the ipod, but not use this feature. The product arrived on time and in good condition. Unfortunately this product did not do what I thought it would, which was to allow me to use my ipod shuffle with a clock radio I have. It's not an issue with the dock adaptor though, just the ipod.
It works great and I can listen to my I-pod during the day and with a flip of the switch on the adapter I am able to charge it at night. When it came to listening to it in my office I was limited to just speakers. I wanted an I-pod for Christmas and received the 2nd generation Shuffle from my family (this is the very small Shuffle that has a clip on the back). Great product and highly recommended. After looking on Amazon I discovered the docking adapter that makes it easy to use one of the I-pod speaker docks that many retailers sell.
(I would guess that is a very small audience). The fact that some iPod docks don't have line-in ports is really sad. Apple usually provides dock adapters for their players, but the Shuffle is the exception since it comes without the proprietary iPod dock interface. Bose SoundDock digital music system for iPod (Black). Just seat your player and dock carefully. Good luck. Actually, if makers simply included line-in ports on their docks this adapter would have an even smaller audience. With this guy, Griffen has filled the void for iPod shuffle owners who own suck portless iPod docks.
For the reasons of cost I may have been too harsh on this guy. Shame on Bose as well for not including the enough ports on their very costly dock. I've heard complaints about it not working with the universal dock so be warned. Truthfully, there's a full range of ports that should be standard on any such device. It does work so if you need it there's few alternatives. To me it seems overpriced, but in fairness that's probably because of the small market for this product.
Doesn't fit, no way in heavans half acre will this thing EVER fit the JBL dock. NOT. The wife can dock her shuffle in the JBL onstage I gave her. Sooo, if you have a JBL onstage, don't waste your time and money. Being a devout hacker, even after many minutes with the box knife and Dremel tool, it's a NO GO. Not quite shure what Griffin was thinking when they designed this, but fitment in some docking devices is going to be tough. I see this, I think, cool.
