Summary: Excellent 2008-03-20
Comment: I bought this shortly after buying my first generation shuffle and I loved it! It only just stopped working a few weeks ago, and given that I used it almost every day for nearly three years I think that's a pretty good run. I'm just sad that they don't seem to be making them any more.

Comment: This product was terrible. The joy of great price shortly replaced with the anguish of poor performance.

Summary: Useless!! 2006-08-19
Comment: This is the worst product of all time. The sound quality is execrable even when there is no fm station anywhere near the frequency you've chosen. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Summary: Screwed. 2006-06-24
Comment: I bought this with the expectation of low quality and short life, so I can't say I'm disappointed. I got about 1 year of use from this thing before the internal wiring started to get goofy. The cigarette adapter functions very hot and the digital display goes crazy. Now, there is no function. So, obviously, this company can not be trusted to make quality products. They are lucky it didn't start a fire.

Summary: Too Much Static and a Bad Connector 2006-04-07
Comment: Stay away from this product. I'm returning mine ASAP. First of all, the USB connector has to be *fully* seated before it works at all. My silicone shuffle case has a thin layer on the USB end, enough to make it not activate the Transmitter. I removed the case to verify this and just pulling the connector out the barest fraction of a millimeter broke the connection. Given the choice of using this product (leaving the shuffle "naked") and keeping the case, I'll opt for keeping the case.
Secondly, when it was connected, the sound quality was awful and the constant static waves made it unlistenable. I found several empty patches of airspace, so interference was not a factor. When not being annoyed by the static, the sound quality was very poor, sounding as if the speakers were stuffed with cotton.
I have an older fm tranmitter that costed $14 that I bought 2 years ago that works better than this $50 POS. Avoid at all costs.
