Product Description

From the Manufacturer

AirPlay for iPod shuffle is the first FM Transmitter that allows you to play audio from iPod shuffle through your car's FM radio. It is the perfect solution for connecting iPod shuffle to your car stereo, particularly if you do not have a cassette player or auxiliary input jack. AirPlay matches iPod shuffle's ease-of-use: simply plug it in, tune it, and press play.

Airplay features an easy-to-read, illuminated digital frequency display. When iPod shuffle begins to play AirPlay automatically transmits on the last used radio frequency. Selecting a new frequency is easy, simply find an unused FM frequency on the radio then press AirPlay's tuning buttons to select the same frequency.

AirPlay for iPod shuffle is powered and charged by the attached auxiliary power adapter, which plugs into your car's cigarette lighter or auxiliary power outlet. Whether the AirPlay is transmitting or not, it continues to charge the iPod shuffle.

AirPlay packs the most features and highest performance into the smallest package, matching the compact dimensions of iPod shuffle.

5.0 out of 5 stars XtremeMac Airplay for iPod Shuffle - Fantastic stuff, June 9, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: XtremeMac AirPlay FM Transmitter for iPod Shuffle (Electronics)
This is a wonderful piece of technology. A fitting complement to the iPod.
I live in a Mid-eastern city which is without a doubt the fastest growing city on the planet. Fortunately we do not have too many FM stations so it was easy to find a free FM frequency I could broadcast on.
I've owned a car for over a decade and never had a CD changer. Am I glad I waited. No need to carry and keep changing CD's.Now I have 240 of my favourite songs on my iPod and "own" my very own private FM station !

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Static and a Bad Connector, April 7, 2006
By 
Scotto (Medicine Lake, Mn USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: XtremeMac AirPlay FM Transmitter for iPod Shuffle (Electronics)
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money or time on this one!, September 23, 2005
This review is from: XtremeMac AirPlay FM Transmitter for iPod Shuffle (Electronics)
Even after removing the radio antenna on my truck the signal was full of static on every frequency. Obviously an inferior product.
