I use this cable to connect my ipod mp3 player to my guitar amplifier 'cd input' jack.  I prefer cables that have all metal connectors so that is why I did not give this cable a five star rating.  The cable works fine despite that it has molded plastic connectors at both ends.  The cable supports two channel audio (stereo) but since I use it to connect to a mono device (a one speaker guitar amplifier) I don't get (or need) stereo sound by using the cable.  I am happy with the performance of the cable for home use but would not advise using it where it is likely to encounter rough treatment .
