Tom, I've been using my new gadget to/from work this week and for the most part it seems to work pretty good. No interference with other stations (so far). The sound quality isn't the best though. It almost seems like it's in mono instead of stereo. Overall I think it's ok. I don't have to carry 20 cd's with me and when I get tired of what's on the flash drive, I can put new songs on it without wasting a blank cd. I figure for $29, it's a good gadget.

I'm no audiofile, but there was always interference from adjacent stations, or the sound quality just wasn't that good. I'd be interested to hear if the Walmart unit is better. My wife got so frustrated that she installed a radio in her car that has a phone jack audio input (direct wire). Now she is very happy with the sound quality from her MP3 player.
