Has anybody hooked up an mp3 player to one of those wireless FM transmiiters. Thinking of getting one so I can listen to tunes off the player in my car. WOUld really hate it if I bought one of those transmitters and it sucked....

thanks

my wife got one, and she said she was mostly disappointed. It worked, but it would slip off the station with the bouncing of the car. It "got her some music", but was not terribly dependable. Perhaps they can be tweaked...

Depends on the make... there are lots that suck... there are lots that ROCK!

You get what you pay for!

What about the CD to tape converter for cars, will it work on an MP3 player?

Son #2 uses one of those tape gizmos for both a portable CD player and an MP3 player. Seems to work fine.

mine is the Muro 100 - 512meg and it has a range of about 1 metre
which is all you need to get the sound onto your radio unless you have an external aerial. You might get another metre or so as my computer probably puts out a lot of rf mush.

the ads certainly make them look like you can use them on cars but I don't have a car radio. You have to have the earpiece plugged-in for Tx (as well as Rx).

They are illegal in the UK, which is why I had to get mine from the US and pay postage, import duty AND local taxes (at 17.5%).

Put Muro into yahoo and you get two re-sellers.
