2. question:

That plug will work fine. The amazon price seems a bit high though. Unless it already includes shipping.

The M50 cable wires are coated with enamel, and then covered with rubber. You'll need to strip the rubber and then burn/sand off the enamel. On my M50 cable, the colours are:

  tip -- left -- green

Test your own cable with a multimeter if you want to make sure it is the same.

Actually I referred to your question of left, right and ground in means of tip, ring, sleeve :) I didnt even looked at the colours :)

and how do i burn off the enamel is the soldering iron good enough?

 

Look at the PDF diagram from monoethylene's earlier post, part C. It will tell you where to solder the tip, ring, and sleeve. 

This is where they are on the plug:

It is not risky if you have soldering experience. Using a helping hands clamp makes it much easier.

See http://tangentsoft.net/elec/movies/tt02.html for good tips on soldering technique.

Carefully use a lighter to burn off the enamel. Be ready to blow out the flame.

USUALLY it will be a solderable enamel on the wires. I wouldn't recommend doing it without a solder pot or at the very least a GOOD iron and some liquid flux. You can get MG Chemical's liquid solder in a 100mL bottle for under $10.

and how do i tell difference with right and left seems to me there is no indicator :P 
 

 

That solder's fine for soldering to bare metals, but when you're dealing with litz wire in which all the individual strands are insulated, for best results you want the litz wire to already be saturated with flux before you apply heat from the iron and subsequently the solder.

Not sure what you mean by the difference between right and left.
