^^^ 
the other day i was eating lunch at a restaurant and asked the waitress for iced coffee. she told me they didn't carry it.
i stared at her for a second.
then i said "well i'll tell you what. bring me a cup of coffee....and a glass of ice...and i'll do the rest". i think i made her feel dumb.
another time i was setting up a tivo for my brother and went to circuit city, best buy, and comp usa. each place answered my question differently and when i figured it out i realized that ALL of them were wrong. idiots.

I have a Monster FM transmitter and, for me, it works great. It also keeps your ipod charged while in use. It has buttons for setting 3 stations, which I did, but I have yet to have to switch to another station. I have no problem with static and the sound quality is great.
Just my .02

JD, how is the high end when you use it? I've found that even if you can get a clear channel on the transmitter, the high end is still 'fuzzy'. |

I get clear reception on my Griffin I trip. Ive got mine set to 104.7 and havent had an issue. However, my friends ipod gets a lot of reception with his I trip(video/version). At first, we checked his antenna connection(in the car) and it still sounded bad...next we tried it on a newer car(since he drives a bucket like me..lol) and STILL sounded bad..
Not sure what it is. .. |

The other option, is a FM transmitter. I did a lot of research and found the best bang for the buck is the Macally POD-FMTF. It smokes the Belkin and iTrip. Plus, you can use it in your car, or at home as it comes with a wall plug-in power supply. I have one and don't have any complaints. |
Does it hook into the earphone jack, or only through the IPod connector? I have a Dell and it can only hook up through the headphone jack.

Yeah... there's some high-end loss, though I wouldn't call it "fuzzy". However, that's not a big deal to me, as my ears are extremely sensitive to high frequencies. It drives me up a wall, to hear how guys set their EQs these days, driving the treble to its upper-limit. I feel like my eardrums are going to burst. |
