i got a hold of an older Creative jukebox and i want to play it through my stereo in my car, but it being a few years old dosn't have the hack to plug it in directly.
so wondering if anyone know of a good fm transmitter (or possibly any other solution?) that dosn't cost an arm and a leg. i looked in bestbuy and man, i dont know how they sell that stuff for $60 but that's outragous.

there are lots on ebay but i do question the quality on a $2 transmitter from china as i hear that some transmitters are pretty bad.

any suggestions?

I have 2 :

a noname one with MP3 player/SD slot and it was absolute junk

also have a white Philips one and the transmitter is a little stronger but to me, it is also junk, real bad quality even on clear channels.

I am done with the FM idea - if you have a tape deck, get a tape adapter and the quality is as good as the CD.

If you ask nicely, I may even sell you the Philips FM one for $10 :cheesygri

i ordered 2 for myself and recommended one for my friend, and no problems whatsoever. the quality is alright... not quite cd quality but if you're not an audiophile, this should be sufficient
