Even if Apple somehow changes (which at this point why would they) you could always buy a previous iPod for cheap and put your music on it.

That's odd - our iPhone and iTouch both work via the aux port (2012 X5), but our Nano doesn't. I just assumed it was too old or something, but I think the Nano was purchased in 2008 or so.

Well, I'm talking about the iPod Adaptor--not the AUX port--I've never had to use the AUX so not sure whatiPods go with it, etc.
