N00bie question about MP3 players and docking stations - especially docking stations

[Angel]

I'll admit that I'm not up to speed with hardware components designed for listening to music. Actually I'm way behind! I didn't know what a docking station was until today.

I heard someone say this this:
"If I were single... ipod witha BOSE dock all the way for your house or apartment! No questions asked, it is THE HOT SETUP! It's not as good as a full system but its something your guests will love!"
Question: do you really need a Bose or Altec Lansing docking station if you already have a quality 5.1 speaker system hooked up to your computer? For example, I have the Logitech Z5500's. I've never owned an MP3 player, that's how inexperienced I am with this subject. Thanks in advance.

Of course you don't. It would be actually spending money for nothing because the Bose or Altec docking stations are nothing compared to a full 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System!

Even the person that you quoted said it:

It's not as good as a full system [...]
