Status: offline 		Those FM transmitters are sometimes quite iffy. I prefer a front mounted mini-jack on devices so that I can plug from mini-jack out to mini-jack in. Nowadays car stereos often offer such a mini-jack feature.

I also like cds burned full with MP3s that will play in a car stereo also - short of a media PC in the vehicle, that's pretty cool.

FWIW, I don't like iPods much. I prefer smaller devices that are more user friendly. Samsung and Creative both makes some good items in that smaller than an iPod category.

I'll second your advice on the little creative MP3 players - I have three of them. They're super cheap and you can beat the hell out of them and they always hold up. I leave one in every vehicle. The all have built-in FM, too

...a seriously over-priced mp3 player with a screen that keeps breaking and is manufactured in a sweatshop somewhere in the third world.......nasty thing.

Edited to add that now all of the techy geeks (whom I love dearly) are gonna jump all over my ass and tell me that you can't fry a hard drive by inserting paperclips into the A drive thingy.

That's a great description lol - I'd love to purchase an American, Canandian, European, or Japenese-made MP3 player.
