I have just bought a "Shintaro USB MP3"
player, which plugs in to the car's
cigarette-lighter socket.

I got it working by downloading some of my
MP3 files on to a flash drive, which I
plugged in to the unit.

The quality of the sound is faint and
terrible, and I wonder if anyone has had
experience with this unit, and if there is a
work-around.

If not, is there a high-quality alternative
available?

It's very unlikely to be on sale with a design fault like this so the
unit is either broken or it's finger trouble.

How are you using it? Connected to something else or via headphones?

If it's got to be one that you listen to via your car radio tuner, then
using a normal player with a transmitter that you can position near the
car radio aerial may be better.

Check the tuning on your radio if you haven't already, & try other
channels on the mp3 player.

Otherwise, if you've a cassette player in your car, a normal mp3 player
& a cassette adaptor is usually the best way to go.

According to the msaker's website, it is a mp3 player that transmits the
audio on the FM band, with 14 channels in the broadcast FM band
available for transmission. That's why I mentioned tuners.

Do check before opening mouth, there's a good chap. It makes you look so
silly otherwise.

would be to try using it with a portable FM radio near the unit.

Do check your facts before "having a go", there's a good chap. It can
make you look so silly otherwise.
