Logitech 980441-0403 Wireless Music System for iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had been waiting for a product like this one for some time. It puts your entire music collection into the palm of your hand, and transmits the sound to your stereo. The performance far surpasses any FM transmitter, and works up to 30 ft from your stereo.
For $150, it is a bit pricey, but still worth it for me. As stated before, the sound quality is very good will little to no interference...worlds better than an FM transmitter...
Downsides....the peice that fits into the top of the Ipod is adjustable for either the full ipod, or the mini (by way of a sliding headphone jack), but lacks that little peice that goes into the smaller jack next to the headphone jack. because of this, the adapter spins around and doesn't feel like it is stable on top of your ipod. Other downside is that the adapter has its own battery source (does not draw power from ipod), which results in having to charge yet another item at your house.
All in all, it delivers on it's promise, just a couple of nuisances...

Cisco-Linksys WMB54G Wireless-G Music Bridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, a little background... I consider myself fairly skilled at using computers.. I have been using them for 25+ years and have installed operating systems, configured routers, set up wireless networks, recovered systems from virus crashes, etc. Reading the below reviews I thought that while installing the music bridge might be a bit tricky, I could handle it.
WOW. I don't know where to begin. This product has the worst documentation I've ever seen, both in the box and online. I spent 10+ hours getting this to work on my system, plus another hour un-doing damage to my system registry after the Music Bridge driver conflicted with another driver in my system and caused a crash.
Having said that, I finally have it up and running and it is operating as promised, though using 100% of my CPU power and thus causing the computer to run very slowly.
Reading the support forum on the linksys site, the people that have the fewest problems installing this equipment are those that don't have routers. Ironically, though Linksys (and Cisco) are router companies, the instructions do not include the special steps that must be taken to re-configure your router so it will connect with the bridge.
Be warned - this is not plug and play and you may very well spend a lot of frustrating time trying to get it to work. Once it is working there are many idiosyncracies (eg having to close and open your music player to get it to play through the bridge) that you would not expect from a well-designed piece of hard/software.
This is a bargain for a reason - I'd suggest you spend a little more and find something better. Good luck!!

Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Car Charger for iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After I realized that I was gonna have to go the route of the FM transmitter to play my ipod in my car, I did tons of research. I must say that this unit sounds really well, if you configure it right. The first thing you need to to is set your ipod EQ to "treble reducer" or "small speakers". (I have yet to figure out why the EQ affects the sound through the dock/line out, but the volume control doesn't) The high end sounds will break up and annoy the crap out of you if you dont! Then you have to have multiple stations to work with. I find myself switching presets once every couple of car rides depending on where I go in town. I live in Louisville, KY and there are plenty of free stations which work well. While you can scroll down to 87.9 by holding down the right two preset buttons and scrolling, I have found this to be useless where I live. Stations higher in the band are overridden much easier than this one for some reason. Also, as with all fm transmitters, there will be some sound of static hiss as you crank up the volume. I find that this scares lots of people, but it really isn't that bad in the end. Ingeniously, if you turn on the air in your car to the lowest setting, it seems to match the static well and canel it out:) All in all this is a great solution for those with CD player only car stereos. The ipod is charged as you drive and you save hundreds on getting an ipod compatible stereo installed or hardwiring a connection from the back of your car stereo, which you can't even do (that I have seen) with my 2001 honda civic.
