One of the funniest (in hindsight) aspects of those FM broadcasters was how you selected a frequency. The Griffin iTrip didn’t have any buttons, so the way you selected a frequency was by playing a specific track from your iPod corresponding to the frequency you wanted.

That meant you had to first rip the CD containing all those 3-5 second tracks to your computer, sync the iPod, and then you’d be ready to use it.

And even after all that, the quality was still worse than the cassette adapters.
