Hi Austravel
There are a few different brands around but from my research i found that the the Griffin iTrip was the best value and also arguably has the best reception. However, the iTrip is only compatible with the iPod, where as say the Belkin FM Transmitter can work with other players such as the Creative etc..
You will pay around the $59 - $79 for the iTrip...i got
mine for $59 but that was a bargain. You can get these pretty much anywhere iPods are sold, Apple Centres, Mac Stores, Myer, Harvey Norman, Domayne etc.
The iTrip plugs directly into the ipod and you tune in the station on your FM Radio (
home, car, boat) to the frequency you choose on the iPod. The iTrip comes with a CD with frequencies which are loaded into the iPod via iTunes. Once you have selected the frequency which works best for you it will remember this and each time you plug in your iTrip and tune in your radio you will hear sweeeeet music.
The quality of sound is diminished slightly, depending on the area you are in. I live in
Sydney where there are many radio stations to interfere with reception but have found no real problems with getting a clear reception. It is not really much different to listening to any other FM station.
Hope the info helps :)
