How do I connect a stereo player to my laptop?

I want to go out to best buy and buy a stereo player (something nice and inexpensive) that I can use to connect to my laptop. I want to connect it to my laptop so that I can play music through the speakers from my laptop but still have volume control through the stereo. Any suggestions on what to buy and how to do this? Or any easier way I can do this without a stereo?
