A few weeks ago my FM Transmitter died. I live with this thing in my car as I gave up radio a few years ago because of my MP3 player and recorded books downloadable from the library. Just like in the old days of radio where I could listen to the stories (soap operas) every day, I am able to drive along and listen to books in a continual drama. Great for road trips! I always have about 15-20 books in my player, ready to go. I only listen to one at a time but every now and then one finishes and I need to have the next one ready. The original library downloads would not work on an IPod, so I use a Creative Zen. I’m on my third one now, and several FM transmitters as all things die eventually. My music is on my IPod.
Looking around for one I found several bargains on eBay, but didn’t want to wait for a new one and so I found this one at factorydirect.ca, a chain of Canadian discount stores. It was a ridiculous price, $7.77 and I thought it would be junk but I was wrong, it is amazing! It seems to do everything. I just needed the plug in for the MP3 but it came with two other plugs, a USB and a SD card holder and it has a remote! I tried all these and I can’t believe it. You load up an SD card and/or a flash memory stick with music and it plays everything, albeit in a random order, it shuffles. I don’t seem to be able to get it not to do that, but there are buttons on my remote yet to try.
The directions are ridiculous and have no meaning, but for my less than $8 I am having fun!
I didn't spend the $.78 on the one year warrenty, why tempt fate!
