It is possible to connect your cell phone to an outside audio device.

Most cell phones now have some sort of an audio jack, which allows you to listen to your uploaded MP3 audio files without disturbing other individuals around you. With this audio connection you are also able to send the music to outside devices, including an audio mixer. Although you do need an adapter cable, the actual connection process only takes a moment or two to complete.
