Answer 1

What kind of plug-in does it have?

Is it the same as the "AUX" plug-in jack on the right side of this Sony player? http://www.crutchfield.com/S-mLcUvef5lRF/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&tab=morephotos&pi=2&i=158GT110&display=XL#Tab

If so, then yes, you can use it with pretty much any MP3 player (or iPod). You just need to buy a connector cable, which should be available at any electronics store. You plug the cable into your MP3 player's head phone jack, and the other end goes into the AUX input. Just make sure you get the right cable (should have the same connection on each end, as you can tell).
