It does, but I really wouldn't bother with it. Even the most basic MP3 player is better than any eBook reader at playing music.

Note, by the way, that the 2.5mm jack of the Gen3 is a standard, albeit a considerably less common one than a 3.5mm jack. 2.5mm sockets are very commonly found on mobile phones. You can get a 3.5mm to 2.5mm converter from pretty much any store that sells cables, etc..
