| Play Music on your Car Stereo SUMMARY: Play your favorite digital audio player tunes while driving.
Your digital audio / portable MP3 player can hold dozens, hundreds, or thousands of songs, but your car CD player can only play about a dozen songs, or if it has MP3-CD support, only a few dozen. Why not hook up your digital audio player to your car stereo so you can listen to your tunes wherever you are?
There are two main ways to do this:
1) If your car stereo has a digital line-in jack, merely buying a male-to-male digital-mini stereo connector should do the trick. If you're not sure which adapter to buy, talk to your local electronics store.
2) If your car stereo doesn't have such an option (many lack this feature), don't fret! You can purchase a device called a Wireless FM Transmitter that lets you play your songs over your car's radio! All you have to do is attach the Wireless FM Transmitter to your music player's headphone jack, set the device to use a radio station that normally has a weak signal, and then tune your radio to such a station. Voila! Your digital audio player's tunes are now coming out of your car stereo!
Granted, option #2 results in song quality that may not match what you'd hear from a CD, but a good Wireless FM Transmitter can provide song quality to at least match that of stereo FM radio stations.
One such Wireless FM Transmitter is the iRock. You can find more information at http://www.irock.com or your local electronics store may have it. Mine works well because my local radio stations using the frequencies the iRock supports put out a very low wattage, letting me hear my tunes in relative clarity. Your results may vary.
