MP3 player for a party

[theLama]

I just bought an MP3 player (Creative Zen Nano). Is it practical to connect this thing to a wired home sound system? Do these things have enough power for this application? Would I be better off wiring the computer to the home sound system?
So many questions. I am completely new to the MP3 world (late adopter).
Thanks,
Lama

I have a Creative Zen Jukebox (40 gig). I hook it up at work to a set of speakers with a woofer and it rocks. I also bring it home on the weekends and hook it up to my home system. I can blast most of my neighbors out of their homes. It is nice having all those songs, over 15k, in such a small container.

I say party on and rock the place!

I bought a 50' RCA cable with male headphone plug adapter (1/4") and hook my home stereo into my computer or my ipod -- both sound great. (The mp3 player should sound a little better in theory because it isn't using a sound card.)

I can sit in my recliner or couch and control the mp3 player from there!

double-check that all the ends will match up though (male/female).
