adapter
uh dap ter
- n a musician who adapts a composition for particular voices or instruments or for another style of performance
- n device that enables something to be used in a way different from that for which it was intended or makes different pieces of apparatus compatible

- Linksys also makes a $129 wireless adapter for printers, a $79 Wi-Fi compact flash card for PDAs (goodbye cradle!), even a $199 digital media adapter for sending MP3s to your .
- Design-wise, there's just one thing that bothered me: because the adapter sits on top of the iPod, it covers up the Hold switch.
