Besides, I really prefer a direct line-in connection... problem is that my car stereo doesn't have one of those so I use a cassette tape adapter, which is still sub-par. The downside of FM transmitters is that if you're going on a road trip you've got to keep changing the channel you're using as you pass within range of (newly) local radio stations. If you're driving 200+ miles you'll have to do that a handful of times, which really bites if the frequency adjustment on the transmitter is a tiny wheel you adjust with your thumbnail. At least the iTrip has some magical mojo for changing the frequency... and no need for batteries. Plus it's very swank. :) That’s pretty cool and all but I ain’t got an iPod (yet).
