Not that I have a beef with our beloved KJHK, but it makes a good point--this thing is really strong. I had, up until now, a Belkin Tunecast, which wouldn't even overpower background noise on an empty station half the time. This thing makes it sounds like you actually put a CD in... okay, I know the quality physically can't be that good, but this is as close as it gets (unless you have a tapedeck). It's loud, it's clear, hell even the lows come in when the mp3 player is at full volume! A+ piece of work.Yeah, the having to preset stations is kind of annoying for road trippin', but not annoying enough to not give this product five stars. Unless you travel a lot, the preset feature won't even be a bother.
