First, how the hell do I find one of these? I remember reading about them months ago, but I'm at a complete loss as to how to locate them at a site like epinions.com . Anyone have experience with them? Are they powerful enough to transmit to your car's antenna from inside the car? My new car has an in-dash CD changer, but no cassette player. 🙁
 
Built in radio to listen? or radio transmitter? to play your songs in the car using radio?
A lot of flash mp3 players have radio. You can buy a little adapter for the mp3 player. Like I Rock or something.

I realized that I was a little unclear, but edited just slightly too late. I'm talking about a transmitter. This "I Rock" thing, is it a transmitter? Can't find it easily on Google.
 
Okay, like a dumbass I never thought of googling on "MP3 transmitter". I'm all set, and many thanks. (I'd still mightily appreciate a recommendation, though.)

As I don't have one, I can go that far. However, reviews on Amazon and Newegg.com are pretty good.
 
If your looking for one built in to an mp3 player (if i read that right), go search for the neuros. First link on google.

Thanks to all. The Neuros looks perfect. A little pricey, but that probably goes for all decent hard-drive-based players. The range on the 20GB model for $249 is listed as 20 feet, the transmitter looks like it can transmit over a wide range of frequencies, and it has an available car DC adapter.
 
Samsung Yepp 20 GB player has a built in transmitter, but it suck a baig one. Even Belkin Tunecastt sucks
 
The difficulty is that the FCC's anal-retentive standards for home-user FM broadcasters is incredibly restrictive. Unless you put the transmitter a few inches from the antenna chances are you'll get interferrance, even if you're 1mHz away from any used frequencies on either side.
 
I need a high powered transmitter to take over my school bus's radio. The fvckin driver listens to sh!t and my friend already tried the belkin one. Any suggestions?
