Another solution would be to wire the music input of the panel-mount
intercom or get a portable intercom with a music input. This needs to
be stereo, of course.


I haven't had great luck with this method. The portable players
(iPod, Walkman) designed to drive a set of earbuds don't seem to have
enough output power to provide a strong signal to the intercom. When
I plug one of these into the input jack of the intercomm, I have to
crank the volume on the player up to maximum and it's barely audible
over the background noise in flight.

When I'm flying by myself, I use the small earbuds under the
headset.
