This is one of those reviews you shouldn't be reading!

The shortest route to appreciate the product is to go to the website, and order one: the Proporta Wireless FM Transmitter!

A few days later it will arrive in the mail. Put in two penlite batteries, then just plug it into your MP3 player.

Switch on the radio, tune in to your private radio station... and start playing your favorite music.

Really, that's all there is to it!

But of course, a bit of explanation wouldn't hurt either: so stay tuned to my story...

I am the happy owner of a LifeDrive, and have been using it for serious business, like appointments, contacts and the like. I could put almost my complete CD collection in it, but until now I never bothered.

I would love to listen to my favorite music in the car, but don't want to use headphones. The alternative, carrying around all those CD's isn't my fancy either. So I stuck to the usual radio stations, just waiting to see -- or rather: hear -- if the disc jockey wants to play one of my favorites...

Then comes along this tiny private fm-radio-station, which changes the music altogether: I now have a simple way to have all my favorites with me - and can just set up my private radio station in the car in a matter of seconds.

And of course, in my study I also have a tiny stereo system - which works perfect too.

Power supply

The "Song Bird" (that's the name of this model) uses two penlite batteries (not included... so you can get some exercise walking  to the shop). In the car one can also connect it to the 12 Volts power with the cord that comes with this transmitter.

Connect to, and transmit what?

The "Song Bird" can be connected to the headphone-connection of any mp3 player. When switched on it transmits an FM-signal with a radius of up to about 10 metres.

There is a white button, that switches it to one of four frequencies: 106.7 / 107.1 / 107.5 or 107.9 - I tried all four of them, and in my area it all works perfectly fine.

It may be a good idea to test those frequencies, and see if there aren't any strong signals on those frequencies. (If this is the case: no worries - there's also a model that lets you choose your own frequency: the Proporta 'CarLink')

Just enjoy!

I like many kinds of music - and I tried them from rock, to trance to classical (really!) - and it all sounds perfect from the six little speakers in our Aygo.

You have your own radio station for less than twenty five US Dollars! It only airs your favorite music...

What more should I say? Don't take my word for it.

To use an old English saying: the proof of the pudding, is in the eating!
