Pros: Cheap, Good sound quality, Easy to use, works with any USB storage device.

Cons: Restarts from the first song...

I brought this gadget from Walmart after doing some research on the internet. The device is very easy to use.. Just plug into the Car charger, Add the USB device tune to an FM channel and start listerning to the music. The sound quality is not bad for the price.

But there is a problem I came to know only after I brought this product. Every time you start the car the player starts right from the first song..:( this is very very bad becuase if I have 100 songs and I just listern to 50 songs..I have to push the next button 50 times to hear the next song...

Anyway I know this is not going to be a long term MP3 device to my car...So I am happy with what I have right now.

I paid 28$ for this one in Walmart. You can get a 1 GB USB drive to 50$ from any online store...

This review is from: MP3 / WMA FM Modulator (Electronics)

I've owned one for about 3 months now and use it all the time, easy to use and works with my 2GB USB storage device.Lots of music.The sound quality is not bad for the price.But there is a problem, every time you start the car the player starts right from the first song( this is very very bad becuase if I have 200 and you have to push the next button 50, 100 or 150 times to hear the song you want) No common MP3 player functions like playlists, random/shuffle, song select. Just play from first to last with only a skip/back button as controls.

No high quality music as you would get from an MP3 player or from your car radio/CD player. But if you know that's what you get and this is what you are looking for (as I was) then this little device is definitely value for money.

4.0 out of 5 stars VRFM7 - USB MP3 Player for your car, June 5, 2005

This is an item that's not found in the MP3 player section of your mega-stores: it's usually found next to the air fresheners because no one knows what it is. You plug this into your cigarette lighter, plug your thumb drive into it and pick a frequency that's not being used by a local station. Press the play button and listen to your music, books on tape, etc. The more thumb drives you have, the more variety!

The good, the bad and the room for improvement:

Good: inexpensive, seven different frequencies, skip forward and back, plug your other CD/DVD/MP3 players into it's aux jack, has a replaceable fuse, and an undocumented feature: pressing and holding the forward or reverse button allows you to set the volume so it's equal to your radio.

Bad: Can't fast forward within a tune (or a broadcast you've taped), can't "shuffle"/randomize songs, some noise in our Ford Windstar (could be we need new wires under the hood, too), does get quite warm.

Improvements: better shielding, ability to fastforward/rewind within a selection, document the volume equalizing feature I found (see "Good:" above).

Good for the price, with thumb drive prices dropping every day, it's a worthwhile gadget to have or give as a birthday present to anyone who drives a lot.
