Howdy folks, I just bought a cheapo MP3 players off trademe.co.nz ($75 for 256mb player). I'm sure many of you have heard of the iTrip, a device you can plug into an iPod that broadcasts your songs onto FM frequencies so you can play it through any radio within range. Does anyone know if these exist for ordinary MP3 players, for example that plug into the headphone jack? I can't imagine them being too hard to make or expensive, all it would need is a modulator for the audio input and an antenna. Anyone know where I can get one?
Also on a side note, I noticed the MP3 player I bought is capable of displaying the lyrics on the screen. I just had a crack at trying to make some synchronised lyrics with Media Player 10 and it was a friggen nightmare. Are there any websites that distribute pre-made synchrnised lyrics? I did a google search and found nothing useful. |

as for your first question i have a FM transmitter that plugs into my MP3 player, works quite well too. i picked that up from sanity for $25 it's range is only about 5 meters though and it works on 3 different frequencies, 88.2, 88.5 and 88.9 this is selectable so you dont interfere with any local radio stations

Belkin make one too, plugs into the headphone of any MP3, Ipod etc and can be set to any frequency. I got mine from WOW sight and sound. Should be easy to find.

Cool, just had a look on trademe, a search for FM MP3 transmitter turned up heaps of results and they're as cheap as chips too. Thanks guys.

Also try Jaycar if you have that in NZ. My gf got her transmitter from there.
