Unless you are going to be driving through multiple highly saturated FM markets, you should be OK with a transmitter. <br /><br />Do you have a CD player, though? I find that burning physical CD mixes is even more fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-68374406068058892972011-07-05T14:35:56.541-04:002011-07-05T14:35:56.541-04:00I have a VW Beetle, which was not made with a CD p...I have a VW Beetle, which was not made with a CD player (!!!!), and I bought the tape-deck adapter thingy directly from Apple. I haven't had any problems with it, and this thing is now probably almost 10 years old. <br /><br /><br />Dang, I got old when I wasn't looking! Wait, where was I? <br /><br />I have a thing that plugs into the cigarette lighter and charges the ipod too. I would go with this --- you can make a playlist that lasts a couple hours and not have to pick albums while driving.Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-39177969596482387662011-07-05T14:10:12.090-04:002011-07-05T14:10:12.090-04:00I have a transmitter (can't think who makes it...I have a transmitter (can't think who makes it, but it's white and looks mac-y) AND a cassette device, because the transmitter is deeply annoying when you're passing through places that don't get good reception. But maybe better transmitters don't to that.<br /><br />In short, this is a useless comment. Good luck!heu mihihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529298049179816825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-15399959061372047742011-07-05T14:09:34.350-04:002011-07-05T14:09:34.350-04:00I rely on the cassette one, although I can't a...I rely on the cassette one, although I can't at the moment look at it to see what brand it is. It is not superb, but it is better than the radio. The FM radio one is annoying for travel because you set it to a station that doesn't come in well, and obviously this changes a lot when you are traveling so you will constantly have to change the station it is set too, unless they have improved in recent years. For really long drives, I actually recommend listening to books, rather than music, or interspersing them.Shedding Khawatirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04643490050277557885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-82862451852315086672011-07-05T14:07:55.186-04:002011-07-05T14:07:55.186-04:00I have a transmitter made by Monster, and it works...I have a transmitter made by Monster, and it works very well.
