FmTransmitter
Updates
Since i last updated this page, well... it was a long time. so here's an update:
- c-crane is still around - 50$, 22.3mA, 250 µV @ 3 meters, stereo, 2xAA, DC adapter available for 2$. rather big (3"x3.5"x1", 5.8oz)
- hlly as well - 120$, 76-108Mhz, stereo/mono, radio-text, web interface, needs dc 5V adapter, 100mA, FCC-compatible, rather fucking big and needs a computer to be configured, it seems. the other models are for running your own radio station, not your car.
then there are generic things all over the place:
- newegg - 7 products, 12-82$
- best buy tons of random shit
- amazon has ~4000 models
- aaand ebay has 6000 listings
Then there's sourcefmtransmitter.com which seems to be a fake review site to, really, sell you the whole house FM transmitter that they make: 100$ (135$ with shipping), 88.1 to 107.9MHz, can be boosted to Europe regulations (so higher power), 3xAA, AC/DC adapters, USB, RCA, line-in, mic-in, antenna... the upside is that it can be used to broadcast farther away than other devices... (There's an interesting review - outlines the potential as a local radio station...) Also 125$USD on amazon.
There is on that site, a reference to the gogroove-flexsmart-x2 transmitter, which also happens to support bluetooth. it also has a USB output connector, but less connexion options than the "whole house" - it's basically designed for the car. But it's way cheaper (50$) and supports auto-tuning... Also on sale at amazon (35$) and Best Buy (42$).
Wikipedia has good documentation) on the regulations and all that crap...

J'ai un problème à la maison: les CD players commerciaux ont tendance à flancher très rapidement et deviennent impossible à utiliser, pour différentes raisons. D'un autre côté, j'ai une foule d'ordinateurs avec toujours de la musique à l'intérieur, que ce soit des MP3s ou des CDROMs. La solution? Transmettre par FM la musique!

Idéalement, il faudrait construire une station de radio plus puissante, ce qui est probablement illégal. Trouver de telles instructions.
Ou encore mieux, trouver des émetter déjà existants! Incroyable... Pas eu le temps d'y réfléchir que déjà slashdot en fait un article!
- modèle 1, + review
- modèle 2 d'autres modèles sont disponibles sur http://www.northcountryradio.com/
