So does anyone have this and if so, how is the sound quality? Does this work well or are any of you experiencing problems?

Thanks!

I've just got it and I didn't have a lot of time to test it, but in a first sight I think that is really worth. For me the sound is good enough, I prefer carry 250 CD's in a small device and loose a bit of quality than carry all the 250 Cd's in the car.

Agreed! But I'm use to listening to my ipod through the cassette adapter. I'm wondering if there will be a noticable difference.

After a Christmas trip for about 1000 miles, I think I've got some experience about the FM transmitter. It's worth. The sound quality is good and you can carry all your music in the device and listen to it through your radio.

The only problem I found is that when you are close to a big town in which you have a lot of FM stations, it's difficult to find a free station with no signal, so the probability to have scratches and noise is bigger than if you are in the countryside. In this case, you have to change the station more often in your car radio. However, synchronizing your car radio and your transmitter is fast and finally you can have a very clean sound.
