EzCube FM Transmitter: Super tiny, works great

by Jasmine France

Digital music aficionados who are constantly behind the wheel are often faced with the dilemma of how to connect their MP3 players to their car stereos. The lucky ones have head units with direct line-in ports, and a few may even be driving around in vehicles old enough to sport the good-old cassette deck.

Either instance requires a simple wired attachment, but for those who aren't blessed with such accouterments, playing MP3 audio in the car is a little more challenging. Two options remain: custom install a hardwire connection or play music over often-spotty FM transmitters. Thankfully, there are a handful of transmitters on the market with solid performance, including the Eznex EzCube, a tiny device that connects to any MP3 player and will set you back about $50.

Read the full review of the EzCube FM Transmitter.

Now I wished they also made one for a house... much larger in size, powered by A/C. I have purchased an FM transmitter via eBay (~ $100)... and it works 75% of the time... but only for the last 4-available stations on the dial (FM 107.3, 107.5, and 107.7, and 107.9). Some of the radios through out the house work just fine, while others have interference from the actual stations. It would be so nice to pack that same FM technology into a house model. I?d easily pay another $100 for a reliable home FM transmitter.
