Explain mp3 players to me

[jdubbya]

Admittedly, I'm a techno-tard. I don't have a lot of gadgets. I don't even like too many of them. That said, I'm in the process of ordering one of the custom voice overs and if I get it in mp3 format, what do I need to play it loudly enough outdoors to add sound to a scene? How do they hook up, etc..
I can also get the VO in a cd format so wondering if this would just be easier. Thanks!

you go to radio shack and purchase a 1/8" stereo jack to rca adapter cord. plug it in between your mp3 player and an amplified sound system and you should be good to go. or a cassette adapter and a boom box could work as well.

Thanks Hib! Sounds simple enough.

I did a similar thing, playing mp3 sound with media player visualizations into a vcr for sound and video. I discussed it HERE (http://www.hauntforum.com/showthread.php?t=8042).
