I've a handy little stereo FM transmitter, bought a while back off
EBAY. Just search for nice+FM+stereo+Transmitter, and it still
appears there from time to time. Does the job from laptop or
portable MP3/CD player -all around the car (or home).
Is that legal, in the UK?

No.


Thought not. Amazon have them though:

Hmmm, I'd be interested to know how a device costing $29.99 in the US
( http://tinyurl.com/3yq8 ) can cost £29.99 over here, unless someone's
taking a big cut somewhere along the line.

I've owned one of those wireless transmitters for use with my Creative
Jukebox 3 & it was utter ****e. The signal would fade & boost as you moved
to changed gear, it would be affected by someone sitting in the passenger
seat & generally was not a lot of cop. I threw it away in the end & got a
cable wired into my 6000 series CD tuner. So my advice would be DONT get an
FM transmitter.

For £100 & less I would go down the CD based MP3 player route. I did own a
Diamond Riovolt (can't remember the model but it had an inline remote & was
the earlier model before the introduction of the 3 model range) which would
have done the trick for you - it could be set to resume playback at the
point at which it was stopped but I'm 99% sure you can't buy Diamond
products easily anyymore due to the parent company (Sonic Blue) going a bit
pear shaped. However, I've just done a search on Ebay & this is what I've
found:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tegory=15 054

This is exactly what you want! It's the newer version of the one I owned
and has got the inline remote with it, which is very handy indeed.

Failing that you've always got Argoos. There's 3 (2 Goodmans & a Philips)
showing on their site so you could always try them out & take them back if
they don't suit.

Hope that's given you some help :-)

I have built up a collection of Radio 4 and Radio 7 programmes on my PC
which are stored as mp3 files. I wish to listen to these in my car.
Currently I record them onto audio cassette and then play these in the car
but I wish to move to a system which does not use cassette.

Can anyone recommend a solution?

I am looking at spending under £100 and am thinking about using either an
mp3 compatible CD walkman or an mp3 player with either a cassette adapter
or
a wireless FM adapter. I would like to power a player from my cigarette
lighter.

A major requirement is that the player 'remembers' where it was in a
recording between car journeys in the same way a cassette does. I do not
want to have to listen / fast forward through a 30 minute programme to
find
the point where I left off listening.

TIA

The Rio is also available from Amazon for GBP 40:

but note that there are some negative reviews.
