Best Answerconsidering the other person didnt read the question before answering i felt i should answer, yes the ipad can still play music out of its own speaker while docked and even connected to itunes, but like the other poster says there is a line out port on the back of the dock which when used will mute the ipad speakers and play your music out of the speakers/headphones plugged in there
