MP3 FM Transmitter

Hi Folks

Wondered if you guys could suggest a decent (price and to use) FM transmitter for my MP3 player, Creative Zen if that makes any difference.

Many thanks

I've tried a couple of brands (Philips & another). They both work but lack power and as such get squeezed out by the more powerful radio stations that leak outside their allocated frequency. Additionally I found the sound to be weak and lacking in everything. Don't waste your money on this solution.
You would better going for a wired solution i.e via an audio lead from MP3 player to the car head unit or via USB. Check the head unit for suitable inputs. If none are available then suitable units are relatively inexpensive and will give better results.

More thinking for in-house use, with a system that has no connectivity ports, apart from the big and 'clunky' aux ports, which it states is for analogue equipment.

I agree with the earlier post about FM transmitters. They're just about okay in a car, but the sound is quite weak.

What do you mean by aux ports. Do you mean phono inputs, because if so there are easier ways to connect using adaptors. If you're not sure post the model details.

Alternatively you could output to some powered speakers quite easily. At my daughters wedding I connected an MP 3 player to a 5.1 system (just playing stereo) in a huge room with great sound during the meal before the evening disco arrived.
