Mp3s from memory stick, play in car?

I have a cd/radio in my car that plays MP3s.

Is there such thing as an adapter which I can plug in my usb memory stick and it plays? I thought I saw a radio wave one but can't find it now to check if it runs from memory sticks rather than mp3 players.

I know I could just burn them to cds but wondered if there was such an adapter?

    That looks great. Even looks simple to use and cheap too. A great find. My problem is solved.

    Thanks for taking the time.

    I'm not keen on FM transmitters, never got on with them. Citroen do an adaptor that fits to the back of the car radio and takes a USB stick, or an IPOD. Shows the album/track on the display.

    A lot more expensive than the FM dongle though
    The force is strong in this one!

    You will likely find that it is a waste of money. The FM transmitter just doesn't have enough power and will thus get drowned out by by all the other much more powerful FM transmitters. Your best bet is to get a head unit that has a USB port. You sometimes find them in Aldi, Lidl etc. Of course if you have a newish car with a built in head unit you may not think it worth the expense & hassle.
