RCA RD-2763FM Lyra 5 GB Micro Jukebox with FM Transmitter/Charger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the LYRA 2763FM because it was compatible with Windows 98 & it came with a car adapter. After using for about 2 weeks, the unit crashed & wouldn't boot up. So I sent it back. The service rep said to send back everything that came with it- all accessories, including the car adapter. After 4 more phone calls to Thomson (RCA's service provider) ... not to mention 2 months. I received a different model that wasn't compatible with my computer AND NO CAR ADAPTER. After 3 more calls to Thomson, I've repeatedly been told that the new unit they sent me doesn't include a car adapter.
Thomson has kept the car adapter I already paid for and sent back to them - as instructed by them & they won't replace it.
BOTTOM LINE - Thomson's service is terrible. They don't listen to you as a customer and don't care about making things right.

Primarily designed as a digital music player but also capable of storing data, the RCA Lyra RD-2763 is a great choice for commuting, jogging, and a host of other on-the-go uses. The unit comes with a combination FM transmitter/charger that plugs into any car's cigarette lighter, letting you play your favorite tunes through the FM radio while charging the Lyra at the same time. In addition, the Lyra's 5 GB hard drive stores both MP3 and WMA files, in addition to supporting secure downloads from WMA-compliant DRM services. Listeners will enjoy access to up to 170 hours of WMA music or 3,400 songs encoded at 64 kbps--enough for almost any application, including cross-country road trips.
Getting around is simple thanks to the HDD SmartTrax navigation and included MusicMatch Jukebox software. The former lets you browse your contents by album, genre, year, or title, or select a group by ID3 tagging, while the latter offers such functions as Lyra DJ (creates precise playlists based on your sorting preferences) and the ability to export MP3 files to WAV format. And because there are no moving parts, the Lyra's music playback simply doesn't skip.
Listening to music is only part of the fun, however. The Lyra also stores data files, such as digital photos, PowerPoint presentations, text documents, and more. The data storage in effect turns the Lyra into a mini hard drive, making it a great companion for anyone who needs to transport small data files from one location to another without wasting a CD-R or hauling along a laptop. It also serves as a nice overflow device in a pinch, such as when needing to free up space on a digital camera.
The Lyra sports a multi-line LCD screen (with icons), which lists the artist name, song title, and elapsed time, among other details. The display makes it easy to select songs, view other selections, adjust the volume, check the battery level, and more. And thanks to the six equalizer presets--which include bass, custom, pop, rock, jazz, and flat--you can easily optimize the sound tones to suit your tastes.
The Lyra is compatible with PCs running Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, or XP or Macs running OS X 10.2 or higher. To transfer music, simply run a USB cord (included) from the Lyra to a PC (the Lyra supports USB 2.0). The Lyra, which also comes with a built-in lithium-ion polymer battery and a universal AC/DC adapter, measures 2 by 3.3 by 0.6 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day manufacturer's warranty.

Kensington 33169 Digital FM Radio and Transmitter for iPods Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit does both: receives FM as a radio, and transmits FM to your radio. Just purchased this yesterday, so I don't have good numbers on how long it takes to drain the iPod's battery. I do know that you can get a solid 4 hours at least. This unit does a fantastic job of transmitting my iPod selections to my FM stereo radio. I can take the iPod 30 metres away, around the house, and the music continues without interruption. I've heard that some of the FM transmitter systems didn't have much of a range, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this one is quite good.
For FM reception - you stick your headphones into the unit itself, rather than into the iPod's headphone jack - so I presume that it is just using the iPod as a power source rather than anything particularly intelligent.
Not needing to buy two different units seems like a good idea to me.
The one downside is that there is no way to charge the iPod while the Kensington unit is connected, whereas some of the FM transmitter-only systems can be plugged into car power supplies.

XtremeMac AirPlay FM Transmitter for iPod and iPod Mini Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this unit after trying the Itrip by Griffen Technologies which I found to be unsatisfactory. This unit does the job. In my car and on my boat, the Airplay works very well, even here in Southern California where there really aren't any completely clear FM frequencies. The Airplay seems to have much more power than at least two other FM transmitters I have tried, which enable it to function very well.
Setting up the Airplay is simplicity itself; one simply plugs it into the top of the Ipod and dial in the desired FM frequency. No software to deal with. Make sure that the volume control of the Ipod is at about 60-70%--this is the only critical setting. The Airplay has greatly enhanced my enjoyment of the Ipod by enabling me to use the Ipod anywhere I have an FM radio, thereby letting me use the nice speaker systems in my boat and car. Great! One day, of course, car and marine stereos will have Ipod docks. But until that happy day, the Airplay will be there for us.

MP3 Player & Wireless FM Radio Transmitter with Full Remote Control. USB & SD Card slots with 12V Lighter Plug Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My CD player in my vehicle was dying and I was looking for alternatives to the $600. replacement unit. This is working perfectly and I am enjoying the use of the transmitter. I use a small thumbdrive (4GB) and that is plenty of music for any of the trips I make. It picks up at the song that was last played, which is nice too. Accepts input from my iPod well. All around, a good unit and a great value.

Belkin TuneCast FM transmitter ( F8V367-DL ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Basically, this thing has a really weak transmitter. I tried using this indoors with both a Denon receiver and a cheaper Sony receiver. Nothing came through on those receivers, though the TuneCast was able to interfere with a couple stations. Sadly, there was even less audible on the frequencies with no stations.
Fortunately, I did find a frequency in my car, and the Alpine head unit was able to pick up a signal. I was able to use it for a while... the static wasn't too bad. However, as soon as I drove within range of any other signals, no matter how weak they were, the TuneCast was totally overridden. This thing probably needs about 10 dB of gain to be a viable transmitter, even for a range of 10 feet.
Quite simply, check your airwaves for 88.1, .3, .5. and .7. If you're in a large city or college town, those frequencies are probably littered with college radio or public access stations... no matter how weak they are, they will dominate this guy.
Avoid this. The Griffin iTrip works reasonably well, and is a better allocation of your hard-earned funds.

I-mobile Sd/mmc/usb/mp3 Wireless in Car Fm Transmitter with Remote (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought two of these items. One worked fairly well except it picks up extraneous transmissions and interference to the extent it is unusable. As you drive down the road You get a real appreciation for the power company's AC presence. I hear AC on this thing that reminds me of the days of the old AM (Amplitude Modulated) radios which at times were totally drowed out by commercial AC noise. The second one works ok in one auto, almost not at all in the other. I've noticed that at least one of them gets really hot on the barrel which plugs into the cigaret lighter. Thumbs down on these two items. Received several Emails regarding negative feedback on one of the two already, sorry but this is a thumbs down in reality - I have no reason to make this stuff up.

SanDisk Sansa m250 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've seen several reviews for this player (a couple comments here, but mostly on other review sites) that have basically stated that it's "just not an iPod". Well, yeah..it's NOT an iPod. I don't think SanDisk is trying to be an iPod with this player, and I'm thankful they're not.
I wanted an MP3 player so I could listen to music while running. I needed something small, lightweight, easy to operate without having to break pace - especially when on the treadmill - and something that could take the bounces and jostles associated with running. I didn't care about the iPod brand, being able to watch TV/video, color screens, or having double-digits worth of GB memory.
This little SanDisk player is great for me. Within hours of it being delivered to my front porch, I had several CD's worth of music loaded on and I was listening with no problems. It was super easy to load music on it using Windows Media Player. It did take some reading to figure out how to work all aspects of it, but that rings true for almost any electronic device. I did the various functions while reading the instruction manual - the one on the included disk, not the super brief quick start guide - and was able to figure things out the next time with no problems. And with 2 GB of memory, I have plenty of room for my music. I've loaded probably 10 CD's on it already, and I have plenty of room to spare.
As for using it for my intended purpose - while running - it's wonderful! I used the included plastic cover and armband and off I went. I'm able to skip songs and change music while maintaining pace. The sound is great - even with the little foam earbud covers, even despite the noise of the treadmill. It's definitely much easier than trying to deal with a discman and one single CD. I've used it for probably 3-4 hours already, and the battery indicator has dropped just one section.
A tip for the instruction manual - pop in the little disk and use Windows Explorer to find the pdf file, then copy it to your computer. This makes it much easier to come back and look something up, rather than having to wade through the disk's contents.
If you want a very nice and perfectly functional MP3 player - and don't need/want the iPod brand and price - then this player will easily meet your needs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
