While were on the subject of MP3's is there any way to "broadcast" to my 1997 factory auto's radio/cassette player? I think that it would be great if I could plug a MP3 player into the cigarette lighter and "broadcast" to my current auto radio/stereo. I don't go into stereo equipment stores very often so please advise what would be a good one to purchase if available.
Thanks, Gene
