I'm running a soundblaster live sound card, and I'm very happy with it. I have looked at some of those personal FM transmitters and I'm seriously thinking about getting one. I can listen to music or internet radio anywhere in the house, or back yard. I saw one that had a range of 300 feet. It would make listening to MP3's much easier. Just start the computer and tune it in on any FM radio in the house. How great is that?
