Here's a negative review of that cigarette-lighter MP3 player. In short: "I wasted $30 so you don’t have to."

I bought one of the transmitters. I really liked the way it looked, it was much better than one that I had from Radio Shack that has a cord hanging out of it.
I especially liked the idea of being able to plug a USB thumb drive directly into it.
In short, it is a really cool gadget except:
It doesn't work.
The signal was very weak and was overridden by every radio station within 50 miles.
I wound up going to Wal-Mart and buying a Sony radio with a front panel auxiliary jack for my flash player (NOT and I-Pod)
While there I saw a radio, from SONY I think, that had a slot for an SD card in the front panel. I almost got it. If it had a USB port, I would have.
I don't listen to the radio hardly at all any more. I like having my own sound track. Lots and lots of podcasts.

John said everything I was going to say, so why repeat it.
