an mp3 player has to have a transmitter in order to transmit the music to an external audio source. i don't know if the source you want to listen the music onto has to b mp3 campatible,though. Ur obviously an mp3 flas-fanatic like me and a lot of people, but u didn't mention the price range yur looking for. For flash-types, (256 or 512 as u stated) can range from about 89$ to maybe even 190$ or so. But i recommend the powerhouses of the flash- mp3 market:
The iRiver iFP 790- (of which i own)
Samsung Yepp T6X
Creative MuVo TX FM
Creative MuVo N200
Cowon iAudio U2
Most of these have very useful features like FM recording; tuner, voice recording and such. They should definetly satisfy u, as my iRiver did. And the price shud be good too.
Hope i've helped, respond to me of what one u bought
I want a small (256-512mb) Mp3 player to use on trips. I want to be able to transmit my music on the player to the car Am/fm radio and listen to my music as we travel on trips. What MP3 players have fm transmitters and recievers?? Are the Transmitters an extra hardware to add to the MP3 playes?? Appreciate any and all Posts. ODIE
