Can I just stick the ends of them into the headphone socket???
The Sony have wires and the computer ones one "pin" (Sorry I know hese bits must have proper names) 0 -
you will need the proper connector to go into the MP3 player - this is usually a headphone socket style connector so from what you've said the pc ones will work immediately (i use a set of pc speakers for my mp3 player)
it may be possible to use the sony speakers but it will probably be more trouble than it's worth - if they are connected to a full blown stereo does the stereo have a line in or aux option on it? if it does you could alwasy go out and get a connecting cable to attach the mp3 player to the stereo itself?"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

Uh? I didn't realise you meant Sony speakers from a music/hifi system. The MP3 player probably wouldn't generate enough current to power those.
