My biggest problem is the plug. When the unit is plugged into a wall outlet the top of the unit covers part of the outlet above. Thismakes it impossible to use a 3 prong device and nearly impossible to plug in a 2 prong device. So you are dedicating an entire outlet to this one device. Seems they should have figured that one out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000255ICI?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000255ICI?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Eton FR100 Blackout Buddy Radio (Silver)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a blackout strikes, will you be ready? Thanks to the Et&amp;oacute;n FR100 Blackout Buddy, the answer is a resounding yes. Simply plug the FR100 into an AC outlet and as soon as power is cut, the unit automatically shines to the rescue with a brilliant beam of light that illuminates the area.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The FR100 is always ready for a blackout. View larger.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The convenient plug-in mechanism. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;A powerful LED flashlight is integrated into the side of the radio. View larger. The FR100 also tunes AM and FM radio stations, giving you breaking news and information during the power disruption. Of course, when it's not busy helping you out in an emergency the FR100 makes a great rechargeable clock radio that you can take anywhere -- without worrying about replacing the batteries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Design and Controls&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The FR100's attractive exterior houses an innovative fold-away AC plug that recharges the unit's built-in battery pack. The unit's blue backlit digital display shows radio frequency, time of day, alarm wake-up time, and a symbol for alarm activation. A powerful LED flashlight is integrated into the side of the radio, where you'll also find controls for volume level, tuning, and band selection.&lt;br /&gt;The FR100 lets you choose from several alert modes that define what the radio does in the event of a power outage. You can set the unit to play the radio only, to turn on the light, or to turn on the light and radio at the same time. Of course, you can also set the FR100 to do nothing when power is cut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tuning and Bands&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; You can use the FR100's analog tuner to tune into your favorite local stations, In addition to a telescoping FM antenna, the unit contains an internal ferrite bar antenna for AM reception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Connections and Power&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The FR100 can be powered by the direct AC plug-in on the back of the device, or via the internal rechargeable battery. The battery must be charged for 72 hours to receive a full charge. An earphone socket can also serve as an auxiliary FM antenna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extras&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In addition to a digital clock, the FR100 also features an alarm clock function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; FR100 radio, auxiliary FM antenna, and user's manual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000255ICI?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000255ICI?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Eton FR100 Blackout Buddy Radio (Silver)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

Unlike the proprietary Denon or Yamaha ipoddocks this one you can connect to ANY kind of audio equipment. And unlike the APPLE ipod dock + flimsy tiny remote with no display whatsoever + AV connection kit (= $100) (which I returned to Apple) this remote works via RADIO FREQUENCY from across the room and through walls if it has to be. The remote even has a DISPLAY that shows you what's playing - you know, kind of useful when you're across the room. You can even navigate through your ipod's menu; that's never been easy and it doesn't get easier using a remote without clickwheel, but it works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What really blew me away is that I was able to also program my Aquos TV, my Sony receiver, my Sony Blue Ray and my Panasonic VHD/DVD combo. Those devices it controls via INFRARED, just like your original factory remotes that came with whatever you bought, and therefore you have to point the remote at your TV etc when operating those. What a relief, that remote control clutter is gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just for fun I even programmed this remote to control my BOSE Portable Sounddock. Yep, it works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R8VKTI?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R8VKTI?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Philips SJM3152/17 RF Universal Remote Control for iPod with iPod Cradle/Dock/Charger/AV Connection Kit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Philips 6-Device Universal Remote for iPod models SJM3151/27 vs SJM3152/17 both share the exact same features, with the exception of what iPods they will control.Your universal remote and docking cradle foriPodTM works with all iPodTM models that havea dock connector.

It came right on time to me , and and im very satisfied. Bass lovers can just "sit back and enjoy the sound". I have and Ipod nano 5th gen. and my EQ was off, and had to change it to flat , so i wont get deaf and low my volume limit to 70%. Believe me you dont want to listen something in this headphones for straight 100% of volume, its not that quality is bad ,you'll just mess up your hearing. I say PERFECT. ,for the 16$ headphones just cant be better. I'll compare them to the beats by dre tour , and i have a feeling that no difference will be found. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 disadvantage and why i gave only 4 stars. The headphone cable is really short and barely can reach the pocket if you are standing straight (im 6.1), the extension cord is also provided in the package but when you roll it all out it becomes too long. I just tied it to the size i need and carry. Gives a little discomfort of carrying but DOES NOT EFFECTS ON SOUND QUALITY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VERY GOOD PRODUCT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033PRONU?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033PRONU?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Pioneer SE-CL21M-J-E Men's Chrome In-Ear Headphones (Red)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SE-CL21M-J-E, red Mens Chrome In-ear Headphones 9mm driver diameter Maximum Input 75mW Sensitivity 100dB/mW Features: 0.7M extension cord; S/M/L earphone tips for comfort ; Available: Black and Red&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033PRONU?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033PRONU?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Pioneer SE-CL21M-J-E Men's Chrome In-Ear Headphones (Red)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

Whenever I travel, I feel bad because my Sangean ATS-909 is a little too big to drag along.Besides size, cost was an important factor in my purchase decision.There were not many reviews for the Kaito KA11, but it had most of the features I wanted and overall Kaito radios have pretty good reviews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ordered the radio online for $54 including shipping.As advertised, the radio is extremely small.Although small in size, this radio is packed with features.Overall, the buttons/controls are nicely laid out.Using the radio is very intuitive, but you may need to crack open the manual to use some of the features such as the sleep timer and the alarm clock.The manual is easy to read, but obviously translated to English so some of the sentences require some patience to understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Features: The radio has 1000 memory locations (100 per page).You have the option to scan through the stored memory locations or just scan up/down by frequency.Even though the speaker is small, the radio still sounds good.Overall, sensitivity is decent and selectivity between strong adjacent stations is good.The radio displays both time and frequency.The backlight is orange and the LCD display is very easy to read.So far battery life seems very good.The left-side of the radio has an external antenna jack.The battery compartment door is attached...a welcome change.The package comes with an AC adapter, manual, ear bud headphones and a long-wire external antenna.If you use rechargeable batteries, it is possible to charge the batteries inside the radio (with the AC adapter).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whip antenna stores inside the radio.I am not sure I like this feature.Sometimes the antenna sticks while trying to push it back into the radio.Hopefully this will become less sticky over time.To set the clock, you need need to take the batteries out of the radio momentarily.The rotary volume control is very sensitive.Unfortunately, this makes it fairly easy to go from low volume to extremely loud without much movement.I also do not care for the location of the volume control.When the radio is lying flat on a table, you cannot adjust the volume.The carrying strap is permanently attached to the radio.This is a small annoyance.Unlike similar radios in its class, there is no pop-out stand.In my opinion, the frequency coverage should have included the 60 meter band.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For future designs of this radio, I would like to see a slight change in memory functionality. If you manually punch in a frequency that is already in memory, I would like the behavior changed so it displays the memory location of that frequency.Right now, you have no way to know if a frequency is already in memory.There should also be an easy way to add a frequency to the next available memory location.Currently, you need to specify a memory location when saving a frequency. This increases the possibility that you may overwrite a memory location with a different frequency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In summary, I really love my Kaito KA11 radio and I am very happy with the purchase. It is definitely a great feature-packed radio, especially for its size and price.Most of the issues discussed above are minor annoyances and definitely not reasons to avoid this radio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JLTVZA?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JLTVZA?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Kaito Pocket-Size PLL Synthesized AM/FM Shortwave Radio, KA11&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The newly released Kaito KA11 is mini-size AM/FM shortwave radio with wide frequency coverage and excellent reception in all bands.

I loved the little gadget, until it was in a horrible accident involving a heavy book bag and the floor. Amazingly the player still worked, but the screen was scattered. So I used the device for the past year a bit messed up, then I saw that Sansa was coming out with the Fuze in March. I new that if my little mp3 player could be smashed by a 20 lb. book bag and still work, the Fuze would have to be wonderful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never even considered an iPod. They are not worth the money and friends have had way to much trouble with the devices for me to begin to think about buying one. The Fuze has all the abilities of videos, radio, pictures, music (of course), and so much more. And their prices for the about of memory that you get is amazing. Who ever uses 80 GB of memory anyway? If you do or have, I applaud your unimaginable music library. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I was going away to college, I decided to spend a bit of my graduation party money on one, I bought a 4 GB Pink Fuze. When it arrived, I have to admit I was surprised how small it really was. But it fit perfectly in your hand, so the smallness doesn't really affect anything. The screen is unbelievably bright. I have it set to the lowest brightness and still can see things perfectly fine in complete darkness. The turn wheel glides smoothly, and is easy to select the songs you want. The sound is wonderful also. The headphones that come with the Fuze fit so nicely and sound terrific. I wish I could buy just those! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will admit that the screen does scratch a bit easy. I was cleaning it, something which I obsess over a bit, with an eye glass cleaning cloth and little scratches appeared when I was finished. So it might be a good idea to invest in a hard case that covers the screen or those screen protectors that companies make for GameBoys or something like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should also know that you must convert videos and pictures using a download found on the sansa fuze forum. It takes a little while to download, but the conversions don't take all that long to finish. It also puts them right to the Fuze. There is also a firmware download on the Fuze forum that might be a good idea to download. It doesn't take very long either. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love my Fuze and wish I would have bought one sooner. You can't bet the price for the memory and the quality of the product. Sansa put that little bit of effort into their products that make them extra special. For example the silicon like back on the Fuze to help the device not slide. It feels neat too. If you are thinking of buying one, DO IT! You won't regret it! They are awesome!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015L0TBI?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015L0TBI?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB Video MP3 Player (Pink)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the SanDisk Sansa Fuze, you can &lt;i&gt;fuse&lt;/i&gt; your portable entertainment, featuring 4 GB of storage.

The reception is pretty good overall, and the sound quality is fine. The battery life appears to be very good. As expected, it comes with cheap earbud headphones. I have been using it to listen to radio while I exercise. It looks pretty nice, too, IMHO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have two minor problems with this unit. First, the tuning is done with a dial on the top, so it's easy to accidentally brush it and mess up your perfect tuning job. Secondly, the earphones are just a little bit too short for my use, and can catch on moving exercise equipment parts. I've done it many times, and now one of the earbuds is flaky, turning on and off at times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BYB4G4?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BYB4G4?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;COBY CX-71 BLU Mini AM/FM Pocket Radio with Hand Strap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter where you are, the Coby CX-71 mini AM/FM radio lets you keep up with the latest news and traffic reports or just listen to the music stations you're in the mood for.

As an electrical engineer, I had spent quite a bit of time reviewing specifications and prices, and finally settled on this one. It isn't the cheapest on the market, but you get what you pay for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cone speaker is fairly directional, allowing you to control the direction in which it projects sound. In particular, you can stand to one side to avoid feedback. Surprisingly, however, the unit is not prone to feedback even if you are standing in front of the speaker, as long as you are not too close. I found that I can stand 10 meters or so in front of the speaker, with volume at reasonable levels, and still not have a feedback problem. Ideally, you are off to the side, but that's not always feasible in all locations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sound quality is in my opinion quite good for a public address system, but you should understand that this is a *public address system* and not a music system. You can certainly play music through the amplifier, but it is optimized for human speech and lacks the frequency response and dynamic range for high-fidelity music reproduction. In engineering design, there are always tradeoffs, and the designers were able to make this device work better for speech by intentionally limiting its response range. I have also been very pleased that the speaker has plenty of headroom, and I have not heard any clipping or overdrive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One very nice feature of this model is that it has inputs for an extra wireless or wired microphone as well as a line-level input for connection to an external source such as an MP3 player for sound effects or background music. This feature is hard to find on equipment in this price range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The battery life of the unit is surprisingly good. I was skeptical of the manufacturer's claim of how long it can run on "D" cells, but I have to admit it really does run a long time. We bought the 12 volt adapter (and I recommend this if you're going to run it all day), but for most short presentations (up to 3 or 4 hours) I just use the inboard "D" cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The manufacturer calls this a "half mile hailer". I haven't tested it at that range, but I would believe the claim based on what I have observed. With the volume at about 40% to 50%, we are able to give educational presentations in very crowded outdoor venues such as a town festival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wireless microphones are of very high quality, with no discernable difference in fidelity between wired and wireless in my tests. They operate on different radio frequencies and have so far been immune to crossover in our usage. These are expensive microphones, but as with the amplifier you get what you pay for. My only caveat is that using the wireless microphones properly does require some training. Anyone can learn it, but audio novices may need some practice to get the mic placement right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My overall opinion is that this PA system does exactly what its manufacturer claims, and does it very well. I would not recommend it to professional musicians because its sound quality is not optimized for that application. But within its intended application -- public address -- it is a high-quality, rugged, reliable performer that is well worth the money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FJ1VJK?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FJ1VJK?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Amplivox SW610A 50-Watt Wireless Half Mile Hailer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amplivox SW610A includes weatherproof 50-watt wireless half mile hailer with built-in wireless receiver that can carry sound the length of a football field to reach audiences up to 3,000.

I haven't measured it but it seems like as little a 10-15 seconds of quiet causes this behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This makes this unit useless for classical music and quite a bit of jazz and other similar styles.If you listen to quiet music, avoid at all costs.If you don't it is the best transmitter I have tried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sirandar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I0RORO?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I0RORO?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Kensington Universal FM Transmitter for MP3 Players (Black)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Item #: 513615.

It was awful. When I pressed the autoscan button, it would scan to stations that were already in use, or partially in use. It rarely scanned to empty stations. I used to have a Kensington digital FM transmitter, and when I tuned to my go-to station, it would work no problem, no static at all. When I tried that same station with the Belkin, I heard static non-stop, along with my music. The only time I heard no static was when I went through a tunnel (obviously, since there's no radio station to interfere). I'm going back to my Kensington - very disappointed with this Belkin model. Note: I live in Fairfield County, and used this on the way to NYC.

It is the best price I have seen for this. The shipping was fast and everything worked out there. My biggest issue is that I don't think I really wanted this item. I would have preferred Black, but they only offered the gray. I just bought an SD-3500IS. I understood (incorrectly) that this was the only case Canon offers to fit it. I think it looked like a cheap plastic. I did not care for the ripple wave effect. It was OK. I think overall, it is more than a bit feminine. I would still have used it, if I didn't get lucky and find that the PSC-55 does fit the SD-3500IS (snuggly, but acceptably). I won't be using this case after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MCJLKE?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MCJLKE?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Deluxe Leather Case&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Canon PSC-2050 Deluxe Leather Case &lt;/strong&gt;(Gray) is designed to carry a Canon PowerShot SD980 IS digital camera.

Overall, I liked the recordings on the WS-320M more than the recordings from my DS-2200.The DS-2200 tends to clip high volume sounds.Using a stereo dubbing / attenuator cable, I "ripped" some songs from a CD player to the WS-320M in STHQ mode.The "ripped" music sounded like FM radio quality or better.All of the voice recordings are file date-time stamped appropriately and date-time stamped internally.You can see the internal date with the program DSS Player (not included).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I plugged the WS-320M into PC, Windows XP recognized it and installed it.There appears to be no driver available for Windows 98.A new drive appeared in the My Computer window.I was able download the recordings to the PC at about 50 MB per minute.I then uploaded some WMA format audiobook tracks to the WS-320M voice folders.The transfer rate uploading is about 26 MB per minute.This is faster than USB 1 and is comparable to many small mp3 music players.I was able to play the audiobook tracks in voice mode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In general, the voice mode operation of the WS-320M is very similar to the operation of the DS-2200 or DS-2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a music player, the WS-320M is comparable to a Creative Muvo Nano / N200.The sound quality is good with a strong low end and a very low level of background hiss (only noticeable with sensitive earbuds).The volume levels range from bedtime quiet to painful.Music is transferred to the WS-320M by copying music files to the music folder or to the root.The WS-320M can handle two levels of folders (artist and albums for example).Navigation on the player is by folder and not by tags.The player uses mp3 tag information only for the screen display.This player can only play bitrates from 5 kbps to 256 kbps.It will not play 320k mp3 files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This player has most of the functions of dedicated mp3 flash memory players.There are settings for RANDOM, REPEAT, REPEAT ONE, Play One Folder, Play All Folders, ROCK, FLAT, JAZZ, POP, User 5 band EQ, SRS WOW (surround sound / trubass). You can change the order of music tracks and delete music tracks.There is no bookmarking function and no sleep timer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More information can be gleaned from the WS-320M user manual available for download from the Olympus website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The WS-320M is a good player / recorder for a student.You can fit a week's worth of lectures on the recorder and still have about 500 mb left over to fill with music.I would not recommend it for a business person needing a true dictation recorder because of its small size and small controls.But for someone who wants to record meetings and seminars and listen to music, it is a good choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small size, good price benefit ratio, long battery life for a voice recorder, good construction, built-in USB connector, informative display, good quality voice recordings, WMA codec, dictation capabilities, external microphone input, date-time stamped recordings, plug and play for file/music transfers, and MP3/WMA music player with DRM support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tiny controls, separate battery door (risk of loss), lesser quality built-in stereo microphone (typical of consumer level recorders), no remote control capability, no included dictation software (DSS Player Lite is available for free download), no included carry case or strap.ADDENDUM (July 13, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon reading the comment that the reviewer's WS-320M had firmware 1.18 and kept date and time correctly at all times, I contacted Olympus customer service and was able to obtain a warranty repair to correct the problem where my WS-320M would not keep time with the battery compartment disconnected.About ten days after shipping the recorder to Olympus, the unit was returned repaired with a note that the circuit board was replaced.My recorder now keeps the correct time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After seven months of use, the WS-320M has held up well.It has been protected by a sheet of clear vinyl wrapped around it and still looks new.I have been very satisfied with this recorder.The recorder will even play protected audiobooks downloaded from the public library.My Ipod will not play those audiobooks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BJ3BRO?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BJ3BRO?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Olympus WS-320M 1 GB Digital Voice Recorder and Music Player&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slim, attractive, and highly functional, the Olympus WS-320M digital voice recorder packs 1 GB of internal flash memory into its lightweight housing, letting you record up to 277 hours of high-quality audio in WMA format. It's ideal for recording notes or long lectures, interviewing sources for an upcoming story, or capturing spur-of-the-moment song ideas before they disappear into the air. As an added bonus, the WS-320M can store up to 266 WMA or MP3 songs for high-quality stereo playback, letting you listen to your favorite tunes between (or during) classes or while waiting in line at the DMV. All this in a tiny body that measures 1.5 inches wide by 3.73 inches tall--roughly the size of a pack of gum.&lt;br /&gt; The WS-320M features five separate file folders capable of holding 199 files each, so you can organize nearly 1,000 files by subject, theme, or other categories. Users also have the choice of four recording modes: HQ, which minimizes background noise and is great for recording people with low speaking voices; LP and SP modes that offer extended recording times; and the unique Stereo HQ mode, which makes two-channel recordings. And thanks to the voice activation option, users don't need to press a single button to start recording. The WS-320M will instead record as soon as the built-in microphone picks up sound.&lt;br /&gt; Perhaps the most convenient feature, however, is the built-in USB connector. To attach the WS-320M to a PC or Mac, all you need to do is remove one end of the recorder's body, which reveals a male USB plug. This USB Direct design eliminates the need for a USB cable (the male plug connects directly to your computer), making the device even more portable. Once connected, you can download music files, images, or documents, in effect turning the recorder into a small hard drive, or you can transfer voice recordings to your computer for storage or multimedia use. &lt;br /&gt; The unit also offers built-in WOW sound enhancement to produce rich, three-dimensional audio with a nice bass component. Additional audio improvements include a user-selectable equalizer that lets you tailor the sound to your taste or environment, along with Olympus's innovative noise-canceling technology, which makes the audio even clearer by removing unwanted hiss and background noise. You can even adjust the built-in stereo microphone's recording level to meet your needs. &lt;br /&gt; Every bit as important are the playback functions, which include fast (50 percent) and slow (25 percent) playback, random play, and repeat play. And should you need to identify and quickly retrieve important sound bites, all you need to do is insert an index mark and refer to it later. Additional features include a locking function, which keeps important data from being erased; an easy-to-read, backlit, full-dot LCD; and a pair of stereo headphones.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; WS-320M digital voice recorder, stereo earphone, one AAA battery, USB cable, user's manual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BJ3BRO?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BJ3BRO?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Olympus WS-320M 1 GB Digital Voice Recorder and Music Player&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

Since I now have an iPod, I wanted something that I could dock it to, and this fits the bill for that as well. This is no audiophile's dream. I didn't expect that for $80. It sounds fine for the kitchen. There were several units like this with "off brand" names, so I decided to go with an established brand. So far, so good.

There are obviously pluses and minuses to each approach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Jabra is more bulky then the iCombi.This is bad for obvious reasons, but it's also good in that it makes it more visible.The iCombi was so compact that it was easily lost in plain view! That's actually why I bought this - I lost my iCombi.It could actually be somewhere in my car or my house, but it's so small that it can hid really well!The picture here of the Jabra makes it look like it's wafer-thin, but in fact it is as thick as my 160GB Classic (or the older 60GB/80GB iPod Video).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Jabra requires that you charge it in addition to your iPod and your BT headset.That's a lot of charging!So it's annoying and you have to deal with more chargers and batteries running out, etc.On the other hand, it's not depleting you iPod's battery, so especially when you're using it to watch videos, which take a lot of battery power, you know you're going to get your full X hours of video rather than something less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The iCombi had some kind of fastener that made it so it would stay attached to the iPod and not come out unless you pressed these two buttons on its sides at the same time.The Jabra can be removed easily, and my skin case, even though it's just 1mm thick, makes it so the Jabra doesn't stick in very well.The slightest touch will make it come out.I'm going to have make a cut in that skin case to accommondate it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Jabra has a button on the side for added functionality which is good, except that I keep finding myself touching it inadvertantly and am wondering if that's going to cause problems down the road...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I come up with any other feedback, I'll update this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GAOTX8?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GAOTX8?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Jabra A125s Bluetooth iPod Adapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Item #: K97780.

Sound has 2 different bass settings. Sound is very good. This unit plays my CD-R discs along with regular discs. The "e-clipz" are a REAL nice bonus. Extremely comfortable. Very good sound. Along with Amazon's free shipping this is the unit to have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009FUAO2?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009FUAO2?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;RCA RP2600 Personal CD Player with 60-Second Anti-Skip Protection (Silver)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving new meaning to the phrase "rock on," the RCA RP2600 personal CD player delivers up to 20 hours of playback from a single pair of AA batteries, letting you enjoy your favorite tunes during an across-the-world plane ride or cross-country bus trip without running out of juice prematurely. Even better, the unit isn't confined to CDs only, as it also plays CD-R and CD-RW discs in addition to CDs bundled with MP3 and WMA files. The latter feature is particularly convenient for traveling, as MP3-CDs can hold up to 10 hours of music each. The upshot is that you won't need to bring along an entire CD library to have access to a ton of music.&lt;br /&gt; The CD player also boasts RCA's 60-second espXtreme anti-skip protection, which retains up to a minute of your music in its built-in memory. Should you accidentally jostle the player during a workout or hit a speed bump, the RC2600 continues to play as if nothing happened. Meanwhile, the audio performance is enhanced by the digital bass boost button, which adds depth to the low-end frequencies for a richer overall sound. Additional features include an auto-off function, which automatically shuts down the unit 30 seconds after a disc has finished playing to preserve battery power; 24-track programming; an easy-to-read LCD display; and a pair of comfortable e-clipz clip-on headphones.&lt;br /&gt; The CD player measures 5.55 by 1.09 by 5.55 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; CD player, e-clipz headphones, user's manual. &lt;i&gt;Note: This does not contain an MP3 player, however, it will play CD-MP3 formatted discs.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009FUAO2?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009FUAO2?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;RCA RP2600 Personal CD Player with 60-Second Anti-Skip Protection (Silver)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

An easy FIVE-STAR recipient!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006I5WK?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006I5WK?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Tivoli Audio Model One AM / FM Table Radio, Classic / Walnut&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where performance and simplicity are paramount but space is sparse, the Model One table radio fits the bill. With just three knobs, it is the antithesis of today's ever more complex electronic products. The Model One gets more stations than other radios because of its state of the art, Henry Kloss designed discrete-component FM tuner using technology originally developed for cellular telephones. This technology gives better FM reception and increased clarity on closely spaced stations. Features include a furniture-grade, handmade walnut wood cabinet that doubles as an acoustically inert housing and a heavy-magnet, long-throw 3-inch speaker which provides musically accurate tonal balance and bass response. Its large analog tuning knob with geared-down 5:1 tuning ratio permits easy and accurate tuning. The amber tuning indicator lets you know when you've achieved proper tuning. Built-in AM and FM antennas provide satisfying reception, while a rear 75-ohm jack allows connection of an external FM antenna in difficult reception areas. Also provided is a headphone jack, auxiliary input to connect an iPod, MP3 player or portable CD player, and a record output for recording, or to use the Model One as a high-quality outboard tuner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006I5WK?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006I5WK?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Tivoli Audio Model One AM / FM Table Radio, Classic / Walnut&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cable and adapter. It has worked perfectly. The adapter has retractable prongs which reduces size for travel. My only (minor) complaint is that I wish the cable and adapter could have been selected in white instead of black. I paid $14.95 and think this is money well spent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016G96PW?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016G96PW?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;XTREMEMAC INCHARGE TRAVE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XTREMEMAC INCHARGE TRAVE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016G96PW?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:1.1em;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:3px;color:#990000;"&gt;Get 30% OFF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016G96PW?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;XTREMEMAC INCHARGE TRAVE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

And unlike many of today's palm-sized players, it features large, easily accessible and intuitive controls as well as a good-sized, dual orientation LCD (which also lets you choose between red, blue, or purple backlighting). It comes with both a neck strap and a belt clip for easy transport. &lt;br /&gt; It has 512 MB of flash memory storage and playback capability for both MP3 and WMA, and it's also compatible with DRM-protected WMA files from online stores or subscription services (including Audible.com). The 512 MB memory will store approximately 8 hours of CD-quality MP3 tracks (encoded at 128 kbps) or 16 hours of WMA tracks (at 64 kbps). You can also expand the Lyra's memory with optional Secure Digital (SD) and MMC memory cards.&lt;br /&gt; In addition to digital audio playback, the Lyra also has a built-in FM tuner (with 20 presets) featuring an FM record function, enabling you to capture your favorite songs and programs to MP3. It also has a voice recorder for short notes to yourself and line-in jack for direct recording capability from external sources such as a cassette deck or CD player. It connects to PCs via an ultra-fast USB 2.0 connection, and will easily connect with both Windows and Mac-based computers.

Since warehouse123 provides 1 year warranty for my S10. I ordered from them and it took only 2 days to receive my player. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Packing: I enjoyed the packaging. It's a square main box with angled corner. Two more small boxes are inside. The S10 is put inside one box and the rest of the accessories are put inside the other. The packing did wow me as Apple's packaging does. iRiver included some plastic molds to hold the player to make it seem more professional. It's an incredible unboxing experience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Design: The S10 is one of the most beautifully designed MP3 players I have ever seen. For the interfaces of most mp3 players, there are a few small buttons for navigation. The iRiver D-Click allow me to navigate the interface by pressing the four sides of the display itself. The button-less screen creates a very clean and sleek. Since there are no buttons to press, navigation is done through pressing the sides of the screen. Around the edges of the iRiver S10, you'll find the remainder of the controls. The S10 is actually very usable with one hand. It's simple and easy to control the player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sound:It has excellent audio playback and recording quality. The stock headphones are not good enough. I wish iRiver could improve the quality of the headphones. I'm using the Audio Technica Ath-CK7 which helps me get the best out of the player. Sound quality is very good as is normal with iRiver players. It produces crystal clear sound as well as smooth and powerful bass. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Transferring music &amp; Battery Life: I would prefer drag-and-drop over iRiver plus 3. I can simply drag and drop my music into the music folder. Since the player is 2GB only, I don't think it needs any music management program. I love the USB portion of the device. I can just plug my device into any USB port in a computer makes up for the 8 hours battery life and it only takes a few minutes to recharge your MP3 player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My only complain: iRiver doesn't sell the S10 in Blue color. The sound is great. The player is packed with useful options; FM radio, voice recorder, many EQ presets and custom EQ settings. I find the navigation intuitive and easy to use. The cost is very good for what I get. I'm very pleased with my purchase. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. I need to say thank you to Jenn in pocketables who provides a very detail review for the iRiver S10. I read her review before I purchased my S10. Highly recommend to read her review.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LLR358?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LLR358?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;iriver S10 2 GB Multimedia Player (Black)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The iRiver S10 might be small and compact in size, but it still manages to pack in some amazing features--including 2 GB of internal storage, a 1.15-inch full-color screen, a digital FM radio, and more, all in a sleek design. With support for MP3, WMA, ASF, and OGG (including Q10) audio file playback, the S10 supports up to eight hours of multimedia playback powered by its internal Li-Poly rechargeable battery. Easy to use, the S10 features iRiver's legendary iRiver D-Click system interface.&lt;br /&gt;The S10's usability goes far beyond the typical multimedia playback abilities that most MP3 players boast. In addition to audio playback and picture-viewing capabilities (the player supports BMP picture files), the S10 supports a voice recording mode--a great feature for students and business users--and even allows users to use its ample 2 GB of storage space as a mass storage device. Other great features include a digital clock, an alarm, and a timer. The S10 is compatible with Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista, and Mac OS by 10.2 and later operating systems. Sporting speedy USB 2.0 connectivity, the S10 measures 1.65 by 1.18 by .42 inches and weighs a scant 0.62 ounce. The player is backed by a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; S10 2 GB multimedia player, iRiver earphones, installation CD, USB 2.0 cable, and printed manual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LLR358?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LLR358?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;iriver S10 2 GB Multimedia Player (Black)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

And at over twenty bucks I did not consider it cheap. At first all was fine then after about a month I noticed a background noise everytime it played. Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa. Then the chirping noise it makes to alert you of low batteries was constant even with fresh batteries. The last straw was when I changed the batteries and low the battery door would not snap shut no matter how hard I tried. This is something I expect in a player a couple years old not 1 month. And this player did not see heavy use before all this happened. I will admit I could have simply gotten a real lemon But I will avoide this brand in the future just the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F4OWM8?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F4OWM8?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Emerson Personal CD Player with FM Tuner - HD8115BKN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emerson HD-8115BK Portable CD-R/RW Player with AM/FM Tuner, HD8115BK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F4OWM8?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F4OWM8?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Emerson Personal CD Player with FM Tuner - HD8115BKN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

The battery life doesn't come anywhere close to what is advertised. I have found some flaws which I'll discuss below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1. The player requires Windows Media Player 10 in order to be recognized by Windows. If you get a message that the unit is malfunctioning, just hold down the center button continuously while plugging it in the USB port and it will reboot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2. I am using WMA files at 64kbps. I know that these files are fine because they work perfectly in other devices. In this Lyra there is a tendency to skip a few times each song. No lockup, just skipping. After backing up the default folders and clearing the songs I did a format as this usually fixes the problem. After reloading the songs I found the problem still there. Not good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The unit gets VERY hot if you are downloading for a long time. I wonder if this has contributed to the meager battery life. I am fortunate to get 3 hours between charges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Do NOT let the player profile songs by itself after a hotsync. You will wind up with album titles but the song selection will say "track 1", "track 2" etc. The right way to profile after downloading is by doing it on the computer. In the taskbar there is a LYRA icon. Right click and select profile songs. Everything comes out perfectly and it takes seconds instead of minutes the other way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. If you are in the middle of an album and have to turn the player off don't expect to be returned to where you left off. Every time you turn it off you go back to square one and have to start all over again. I think that this is the most annoying trait of the Lyra. Very, very annoying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. The included case is well above average but the power button couldn't be in a worse place. You have to hit it when taking the player out of the case and it sometimes engages while in your pocket. Also, when you activate the hold function to lock all the buttons, it doesn't really lock the power button. Here's why. You get a message to unlock the player on the color screen. And it stays on until you unlock. I took the player out with a full charge and on hold. It was in my shirt pocket. I unwittingly must have pressed against the power button. It is so easy to do. Well, a few hours later I went to use the thing and noticed the unlock message. It must have been on for some time because after unlocking it the thing died. Dead battery. I recharged the battery and then duplicated the situation. Sure enough the message stayed on; the screen stayed lit and the battery died after only an hour. This is unacceptable. Overall, I would have liked to give this Lyra 2765 a higher score. It is the right size and the controls are very user friendly. However, it seems that on the whole this player was not well thought out. There are other players out there for the same money that do a much better job. It made me wonder when I first opened the quick start guide that the first thing you read is a notice that if you are having trouble with WMP 10 go to a certain website for a fix. Apparently RCA doesn't have much confidence in their product either. I hope this review helps anyone thinking about buying the Lyra 2765.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00063EG0G?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00063EG0G?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;RCA Lyra RD2765  5 GB Digital Jukebox with Color LCD Screen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RCA LYRAJukebox 5GB Hard Disc Drive - Color LCD Screen with Icons, JPEG / Cover Art Viewer and LYRA DJ - automatic smart playlist!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00063EG0G?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00063EG0G?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;RCA Lyra RD2765  5 GB Digital Jukebox with Color LCD Screen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

Programming remains a chore, but Panasonic is even worse in my opinion. Volumn switch seems too easy to turn by accident. Those headphones I wish were offered as an option on all Sony personal radios, they are good and comfortable. This radio is sleek, (a nicer color than black!) and should suffer abuse ok. If your favorite FM stations are easy to tune in, it will give you good stereo separation and bass boost. Buy discounted, not anywhere near the retail list price, and you should be satisfied on balance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007WXPSU?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007WXPSU?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Sony S2 Sports Radio - SRFM85V&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Features:New Slimmer and More Lightweight S2 SportsTM Digital TunerTV/Weather/FM/AM Stereo Arm Band Radio Lets you listen to audio from TV channels 2-13and up-to-the-minute weather from your local Weather Band broadcasts.Single "AAA" Battery Operation Provides hours of listeningand helps to make the WalkmanÂ® unit compact and inexpensive to use.Convenient LED Display Angle &amp; Easy-to-Use Up/Down Controls for Preset Tuning Designed for information to be easily read at a glance while on the run.30 Station Preset Memory (15FM/5AM/5TV/5WB) Uses electronic settings for easy one-button tuning for your choice of audio from 5 TV channels5 weather bands10 FM and 5 AM radio stations.Supplied Armband and Belt ClipIdeal for Sports Lets you wear your WalkmanÂ® player on your arm during activitieskeeping your hands free.Stop WatchSplit &amp; Pitch Timer Split timer lets you record split times with the press of a button and makes your WalkmanÂ® player a valuable companion when joggingsailingor for any activity where timing is important.Mega BassÂ® Sound System Produces richdeep bass tones for more powerful overall sound.Sports Headphones Supplied Sony MDR (Micro Dynamic ReceiverTM) vertical type for wide dynamic range and excellent sound.Specifications:Color: S2 White Audio:Frequency Range: FM: 87.5-108MHz ; AM: 530-1710kHz; TV: Ch. 2-13; Weather Band: Ch. 1-7Antenna System: AM: Built-in Ferrite Bar Antenna; FM: Headphone CordInputs and Outputs: Output(s): Headphone (Stereo Mini Jack)Power: Power Requirements: DC 3V "AAA" x 1Supplied Accessories:MDR-W014 Lightweight Sports Stereo HeadphonesArm Band with Reflector**IMPORTANT FACT: U.S. law requires all over-the-air broadcasting of television video and audio to switch from analog to digital signals on February 172009.

To say the least, I was surprised by the studio-quality of the headphones. I compared them to my old Philips SBC HL150's and although I was always happy with their performance, Pioneer's quality sound was far superior. Coming from a music college, I was able to experience good, quality, studio headphones, I must say these Pioneers offer the closest thing I've heard to studio headphones at an affordable price! The biggest difference is that you actually get bass!!! I went so long with my other headphones that I didn't notice how much bass I was missing, or that there was even bass on some songs. For those of you who are asking "Ok what if I just want good headphones?" Well good headphones starts with good bass, it's a basic fundamental to listening to music, the rest, like treble, mid, and high, all that other technical mumbo-jumbo well it's usually a given with all headphones, but that's my biggest note about these headphones, THE BASS! With good bass you have good acoustics overall. Another important note: the jacks are gold plated (It comes with an extender piece that's also gold plated). Since I just got these, I am saving that last star on the rating because I will post another review within a couple of months to recap how well they have been. I wanted to show them off to everyone and tell them of all the nifty features and benefits on my first day but I withheld... for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033PROQW?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033PROQW?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Pioneer SE-H33 Lightweight Over-Ear Headphones with Foldable Headband (Silver)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SE-H33, silver and black Lightweight, Foldable Headband 30mm Driver Diameter Maximum Input 100mW Sensitivity 104dB/mW Lightweight, adjustable design Foldable 1.0m cord&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033PROQW?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033PROQW?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Pioneer SE-H33 Lightweight Over-Ear Headphones with Foldable Headband (Silver)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

However if you are looking to have separate zones of flashes you do need to have the mulitmax, or equivalent 32 channel receiver. The zone function only works on channels 17-32, and the plus only has channels 1-4. &lt;br /&gt;With that in mind this is the definition of reliability, and for many applications just having the extra channels will be worth the extra hundred bucks. For example at major sporting events where every photographer seems to be using those first four channels you will still be able to have your flash go off only when you want it too. &lt;br /&gt;Using zones has some extra uses too. I use it in my studio to set up 3 completely different lighting scenes (background white, background black, and third with some light spill onto the background) set my camera to bracket (3) and then with each shot get 3 completely different pictures. Saves me lots of time and I don't have to tell the model "that looked great, now try to do exactly the same thing after I spend 5 minutes fiddling with the lights...."&lt;br /&gt;Now if you have no idea what I am talking about, then maybe this isn't the device for you. And that is not a problem! But there is no reason to pay this money if you are not sure that you are going to use its features.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J3R2M?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J3R2M?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;PocketWizard MultiMAX Transceiver, Remote Control Radio Slave.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PocketWizard MultiMAX Transceiver features Wireless Transceiver Technology, which eliminates the need for a separate transmitter and receiver setup. Each MultiMAX provides the capability to send and/or receive digital signaling by a flip of a switch, similar to personal communicators. Among many advantages, a photographer can select between a transmitter or receiver mode as shooting assignments change.The MultiMAX is the only radio system that offers True Trigger Confirmation feedback, up to 1600 feet away or more, without the need for signal repeaters or daisy-chained radios. Selecting which camera or flash zone fires is as easy as pressing a button in "Selective Quad Triggering" mode. The MultiMAX automatically confirms radio triggering on every zone simultaneously, with immediate visual and audible feedback on the MultiMAX (set for transmitter).Utilizing LPA Design's patented microprocessor and software technology, the MultiMAX comes loaded with "Trigger Time Control" software. Used independently or with another PocketWizard, the MultiMAX provides several unique advanced tools for the working professional, all in one small package. With the "Trigger Time Control" software, it's easy and very convenient to create rear curtain sync effects with any camera, add depth of field using multi-pop mode, record events as they unfold using the intervalometer mode and much more.As with all PocketWizard Digital Radio Receivers, the PocketWizard MultiM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J3R2M?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:1.1em;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:3px;color:#990000;"&gt;Get 22% OFF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J3R2M?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;PocketWizard MultiMAX Transceiver, Remote Control Radio Slave.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

I contacted the seller about the mp3 player and my iPod. They said my music was poor quality, and told me to use the audio jack with the iPod because the I-mobile couldn't play music off of a device with folders. Well, I had played the music before and I know that it wasn't poor quality--they were different qualities. As a matter of fact, two songs played slightly better than the others and they were 96 bitrate. So, whatever--I didn't pay $100 for the thing, and it got the job done with the audio jack. I got curious later about the SD card slot. I had only used an SD card for my camera, I had no idea I could put more than just pics on it. The card plays so well! I can't use random for my music with the SD card, so every now and again I'll just rearrange my music on the SD card. If you get this product, I suggest you invest in a 2GB, $10 SD card. Well, I guess it depends on where you live how much you pay for one! :) Oh, one thing I almost forgot: I'm about 99% positive that you should tune into a station that isn't being used or a weak station--one that you can't hear cleary, to avoid static. Well, I guess that's 49.5/49.5, huh?lol I use the very first station around here which is 88.5 FM&lt;br /&gt; In conclusion: 1)I don't care about the USB (even though that was what I bought it for) because there are alternate ways of playing music my music 2)Using the I-mobile made me use my brain which made me smarter :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Update 4/24/10: if you hold in the play button on the device it will allow you to use repeat and shuffle options. Also, the equalizer comes in handy cuz it won't let me keep turning up the volume. When I put it on "normal," sometimes I turn the volume too loud and my speakers will "pop" a little.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OSD8LY?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OSD8LY?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;I-mobile Sd/mmc/usb/mp3 Wireless in Car Fm Transmitter with Remote (Yellow)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With iMobile, you can enjoy your full digital music in your car, for the cost of less than a full tank of gas.

No never mind how nice the wood finish is but you need to ask how well does the turntable itself perform. The turntable platter and tonearm are pure plastic ! As for the cartridge, buyer beware. If you intend to purchase one of these faux 'tables ask the sales person how to obtain an extra cartridge or stylus for the stylus is not a typical p-mount (plug and play) that you can just get from Best Buy or Radio Shack. It seems to be maufactured to fit the Crosley turntable only.&lt;br /&gt; Now as for the sound, this will blow your mind. Why on earth would any company manufacture an audio product, concentrate totally on the "nice" wood finish but neglect to make at least a half decent turntable playing mechanism ? Beats me.We're not looking for audiophile grade components here but at least humor the consumer with something that sounds better than a AM transistor radio. The sound you will get from the "full range" speakers means there are no 2 way or 3 way speakers built in (then again, neither was there in the 1930's). &lt;br /&gt;If you want something to add to your nostalgic Americana memorabilia just to look at then the Crosley will fit in nicely. If you are expecting mid to hi-end analog quality sound, forget it.Look elsewhere. The flimsy tonearm needle will not track those slightly warped lp's you may own...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DHVNJ?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DHVNJ?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Crosley CR47-OA Classic Turntable&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This 1940&amp;#xB9;s classic is traditionally styled and simplistic in appearance.

The only down side in terms of how it works is that files transfer pretty slowly and it ties up my music player until its done transferring.Also, its size and physical construction means that it takes up more than its share of space if you have several USB ports side-by-side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other trouble is that getting one that works right seems to be a little hit-or-miss.The first one I bought would never charge, which according to my research at the time is a fairly common problem.The second one works just fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00117TZ6G?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00117TZ6G?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Insignia Kix NS-1A10S - Digital player / radio - flash 1 GB - WMA, MP3, protected WMA (DRM 10) - display: 1 - silver&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 30 hours of playback timePerfect Sync with Best Buy Digital Music Store allows you to rate songs you love or hate with the included music management softwarePlays ForSure compatibleUpgradeable to future formats and featuresPC and Mac compatible&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00117TZ6G?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00117TZ6G?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Insignia Kix NS-1A10S - Digital player / radio - flash 1 GB - WMA, MP3, protected WMA (DRM 10) - display: 1 - silver&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

Wiring the MP3 directly into the stereo I had to get up any time I wanted to do those things. &lt;br /&gt;This unit is small, inexpensive, widely available and doesn't add a tangle of additional cords. It is powered by 2 AAA batteries that are not included and does not have a jack for a DC adapter. It is suspiciously similar looking to the iRock 300w, certainly just a rebranded twin (in fact the Belkin Tunecast may be repackaged version of this unit as well).&lt;br /&gt;On the way home from the store it actually worked pretty well in the car even though in Atlanta a reasonably powerful college station sits at 88.5, right in the middle of its four possible settings (88.1, 88.3, 88.5, and 88.7). I noticed a little static at 88.1 and when I turned the unit off I could hear a scratchy NPR station (maybe in Columbus?). I got some more interference in an isolated spot on the drive home, but for the most part it sounded good.&lt;br /&gt;But at home I tried the device with two different home stereo units and couldn't get a clear signal on either even though I was less than ten feet away. In both cases 88.5 seemed to be to blame. One of those stereos has an external FM antenna and one doesn't. I tried again with my Tivoli radio and it got a scratchy signal due to 88.5 as well.&lt;br /&gt;So it doesn't work for me and I will have to send it back. It is worth trying in your area and maybe you'll get better results. I think it might work better if I was just further from downtown. Other units have a wider selection of frequencies they can play on and that might have helped on this one as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00017WXVG?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00017WXVG?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Sonic Impact Wireless FM Music Adapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sonic Impact Wireless FM Transmitter SI-Link allows you to hear any standard audio device over an FM radio in your car or home.The 1/8 stereo headphone plub connects to any standard audio source to the SI-Link.Packaging: Retail Pkg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00017WXVG?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:1.1em;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:3px;color:#990000;"&gt;Get 7% OFF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00017WXVG?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Sonic Impact Wireless FM Music Adapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

My older car had a tape player, so I was able to use the cassette adaptor with my mp3 player and that sounded wonderful.My new car only had a cd player and no easy way to listen to all my music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These transmitters are absolutely horrible. You can get sound, but it's definitely not crispy clear sound and it sounds like your old analog tapes or your old transistor radio that lost its antenna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, here's my advice: after wasting a bunch of money on two transmitters in addition to portable speakers that also sounded terrible, I finally went to Circuit City and bought a new stereo for only $79 (including installation) that had an auxiliary jack.Now, I can use a cable and plug my mp3 player right into the auxiliary jack and have clear, static-free music!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I highly suggest you don't waste your money on this transmitter or any other one.If your speakers are already good, you just need a new stereo with an auxiliary jack. It will make listening to your player an absolute pleasure.With the transmitter, I evenhated to start the player, since I knew I'd have to play around with the transmitter to even hear just a little bit. The new stereo has made everything so much easier!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JEUNZY?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JEUNZY?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Belkin F8M026 TuneBase FM Transmitter for Zune&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Belkin F8M026 TuneBase FM Transmitter for Zune offers you an elegant way to power, mount, and play your Zune while you are on the road.

I paid about $30 from Sears after rebate. I liked the flexibility it gave me to be portable in the car and at home. And the MP3 player recording capability off of XM was only icing on the cake. I use it primarily as a car player now and so the use of the car kit is extremely important to me. I have to say that I'm very pleased with its quality and reception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Even though I list the pros and cons, many of these concerns are about the NEXUS product itself and don't reflect the car kit adapter)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Quality-wise it's well built and installed easily in my car. I have an 99 Acura RL and the YA-CP200's air vent connector clicked easily onto the vents in a convenient vent on my dash. The unit stays in place and I don't have any concerns about it sliding around or slipping out of the cradle as I drive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Sound quality is great. Even though I could use the FM transmitter built into the base, I've opted to use the cassette adapter and I get perfect sound. My sister has an XM receiver by a competitor and she uses the FM transmitter and when I ride with her, I hear a constant low hum in her broadcasts. I don't have that issue. I have an extra cord to deal with, but it concealed easily along side the dash so no discernible issues there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Remote control capability helps with use in the car. Even though the Nexus is located in arm's length reach on the dash, the car kit comes with it's own separate remote control that allows me to control the unit with ease. The home base unit also comes with a remote so now I have two and can keep one in each location. The only problem is that sometimes I'll take a corner and if I haven't secured the remote, it can end up in the foot well on the passenger side. That can be annoying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) I love the fact that I can record the XM broadcasts on the fly. When I'm in my car and I go into a tunnel or an area where I can't get signal, the Nexus automatically switches over to MP3 mode and I can listen to my favorites until signal returns. To record a song is a simple push of a single button during broadcast. Works pretty effortlessly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONS: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I already mentioned that the remote has a tendency to fly around the car if I don't secure it... but that's more my fault than it is a design problem with the unit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) The Nexus 25 receiver on it's own can't receive the XM signal. There's a separate XM module that plugs into the cradle behind the receiver that allows you to receive the signal. If I remove the XM module, then I can't get XM broadcasts. Considering the module is such a small thing, I don't understand why Samsung just didn't include the circuitry in the unit like in the Samsung Helix, the upgraded model. The Helix has the XM reception built into a single receiver unit so you can receive XM anywhere without having to plug the unit into a cradle with the module. I think Samsung was looking for different price points and it charges almost 4 times for the Helix as it does for the Nexus. Though I can understand why they've done this, I think they've done themselves a disservice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) The navigation on the receiver is a bit cumbersome and not very intuitive. I can get the job done, it just takes me a few more clicks than I would like especially considering that I'm in my car and should be keeping my attention on the road. Once again a quip against the Nexus unit itself and not the car kit. Changing stations is not so simple and I haven't yet figured out how to save my favorite channels so I can go directly there... I'm sure there's a way to do it, I just need to get my butt to pick up the manual and read it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) I have to reinstall the XM car antenna. I've heard from a local XM radio installer that the magnets in the antenna cause rusting of the exterior paint and seem to mess up your paint job. So my sister ran her antenna wire around the inside of her windshield and uses velcro to attach the antenna to the windsheild behind her rear view mirror to help conceal it. Sounds like a good fix so I'll be doing that in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, I think the Nexus 25 along with the car kit make a great addition to any vehicle!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ETA00W?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ETA00W?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Samsung YA-CP200 NeXus Car Kit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Description: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Samsung YA-CP200 NeXus Car Kit provides you with everything you need to connect your Samsung neXus XM satellite receiver to your vehicle's stereo system. The Samsung neXus XM satellite receiver initially comes with everything needed to play it over any home stereo, so the YA-CP200 allows you to take that same XM satellite radio you have been enjoying so much with you on the road, wherever you go.&lt;br /&gt;The YA-CP200 kit includes a vehicle cradle and docking stand, a automobile antenna, an AC auxiliary cigarette lighter power adapter, and a cassette adapter to connect your neXus receiver through your vehicle's tape player. All the elements in this kit are easily installed and completely plug-and-play, requiring you to simply make the signal and power connections, and position the cradle and antenna before affixing them with the included unit mounts. While plugged in, the auto docking cradle serves to recharge your neXus's built-in battery, and includes a convenient remote control so you can navigate without having to take your eyes off the road. The YA-CP200 car kit requires the Samsung neXus in order to operate, and is backed by a manufacturer's 1-year warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ETA00W?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ETA00W?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Samsung YA-CP200 NeXus Car Kit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

The Samsung Helix XM satellite radio/MP3 player initially comes with everything needed to play it over any home stereo, so the YA-CD100 can either allow you to connect to a second home or office stereo system without purchasing another subscription, or it can simply offer replacement parts for the original accessories that came with your Helix receiver.&lt;br /&gt;The YA-CD100 kit includes a desktop cradle and docking stand, an indoor antenna, an AC wall-style universal power adapter, and an RCA-to-3.5mm mini-jack audio cable. All the elements in this kit are easily installed and completely plug-and-play, requiring you to simply make the signal and power connections at the cradle, and position the antenna for optimal reception. While plugged in, the home docking cradle serves to recharge your Helix's built-in battery. This kit has the same parts as those that originally came with the Samsung Helix, that are set-up the same way, and includes a convenient remote control as well. The YA-CD100 home kit requires the Samsung Helix in order to operate, and is backed by a manufacturer's 1-year warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ELST5I?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:1.1em;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:3px;color:#990000;"&gt;Get 13% OFF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to buy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ELST5I?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;Samsung YA-CD100 Helix Home Docking Kit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at other amazon sites?

Therefore those won't work well since it is competing with the signals in the air at the same frequency. I was lucky to find the fourth setting 106.7 to work somewhat, though I actually have to tune the car radio to 106.9 for the clearest signal.The first unit that they sent me did not work, so they had to send me a second unit. This is made in China and quite cheaply. The signal strength is poor and the sound quality is about 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The sound is affected when you move the unit. I placed the unit right by the radio area (thought it is probably better closer to the antenna). Anyway, I guess you get what you pay for and in this case, you get a cheaply made unit which sort of works but with mediocore sound. I would probably by the more expensive models like the iTrip one by Griffin or Belkin if I had to do it over. These are more expensive, about $30 or so, but may be better quality!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001V63JLO?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see more reviews about: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001V63JLO?tag=amazon3d-20"&gt;FM Transmitter for iPod Classic Touch Video Nano iShuffle and all portable MP3 players.
