Yes, I was concerned about receiving a phone call during break music just last night! So I tried "Airplane Mode" and it killed my internet connection to Pandora. A message popped up saying I could go through local WIFI to continue the stream.
But what's worse is, if I do receive a call, my ringer will blast through the output with incredible volume. So next Friday I'll try forwarding my phone to a new number and experiment to see what happens through the PA.
What I really need to do is fill up my phone's Ipod and play internal music. Then go to Airplane Mode.
Speaking of which, my lead guitarist's amp gets those "dit-did-it-dits" all the time as well.
In the size clubs we play, sadly, it's become a normal nusiance we seem to live with lately.

Tell me about it - my '65 Bandmaster combo wasn't exactly designed by Leo back in the day for blackberry/iPhone interference. Blackberries seem worse offenders than the iPhone, but the airplane mode silences them all.
Forgot about Pandora - I'm a latecomer to it but now can't believe I ever lived without it.
I have an older iPod that I keep for file backup and keeping break music on, but I also keep about 1G of music on my iPhone.

Great for using an iPod that supports video with any camcorder RCA cable. I read about this back when I got my 60GB ipod and tried it out. Fun for the kids to play videos on long trips in the car.
FYI - a normal 1/8" TRS to stereo RCA works as expected for audio; I have 3 in my mixer drawer to use for iPod break music or for recording stereo in on my Zoom H2. There are also people that sell a line level out version that connects through the dock connector - http://www.moon-audio.com/Moon_Audio_Mini_Audio_Cables.htm - scroll down a bit.
TIP - go into settings and turn on Airplane Mode - this will silence any "didit didit didit didit" noise during performances.

I even have some that are Trs 1/8 to Xlr that work well I keep them in the doghouse of consoles that don't have any 1/4" inputs.
Kent Thompson:
All you need is a standard 1/8 stereo cable to "whatever" connectors you want on the other end (as others have said).That's what I use on my iPhone 4 it works great. The extra ring is for the microphone which you don't need for playback. The iPhone will recognize there is no microphone ring on the cable and save your volume setting for that cable the next time you plug it in. If you plug in the supplied earphones it will remember that volume level separately.

Call me a fuddy-duddy, but I'm not using my Iphone for playback in front of an audience.
