Neither one of those cables will charge an iPod, they will only allow you to transmit your music, and with that plugged in, you won't be able to plug in a device to charge it either. If you went another route, say with a 3.5mm to RCA cable, then you could control the volume from your iPod and with the stereo, and you could plug in a charger to the iPod. That is the way I do it, granted, it's more cables than I really want, but it works great, and has great sound quality too.
