Default MP3 Player - FM Transmitters?

Ok drawing inspiration from another thread, are there any decent FM transmitters available for MP3 players? I bought a cheap ($49.95) one a little while ago just to try them out and its pretty crap.... only has 5 selectable frequencies and the sound quality is laughable.

I still want one though as its extremely useful when driving different company vehicles at work with only tape players.

I've got an iRiver and was looking at their own branded one but was interested in other feedback.

Funnily enough, I was doing some research into FM transmitters, and was looking to get one for my SE k750i mobile phone. Can't say I've been too impressed with fm transmitters in general.

There's one from Belkin - it's called Tunecast II, but can't remember how much it was. Harris Tech sells them, I think.

I'll be looking for the same thing after xmas, my work ute only has tape, and if i've been a good boy, the missus may slip a little music playing gizmo in my stocking

I've had a quick look at these things at a few shops and the ones with more frequencies would probably be best, my missus has a creative mp3 player with a cheapo fm transmitter which has only 3 choosable frequencies, that always get interference from other stations

Is that so you can listen to the music from ur mp3 player by tuning it into a radio station via these gadgets????

I just bought a cheap casette thinggo from the markets with a wire hanging out the corner, plugs into the phone jack on the mp3 then slides into the casette player...

was no more than 5 bucks???
