We have our fabulous iPods loaded with all our favorite music, yet we of course still always want more.
According to a survey by Jacobs Media this more comes in the form of desiring FM radio as well – simply put we love having our songs yet we also want to know the new music and we want to hear it before we buy it for free!
The survey consisted of more than 25,000 respondents from over 69 Rock-formatted stations in the US. Over 33% of the respondents said that their most desired new feature in a new MP3 player was a FM receiver, with 43% of people who already own an Apple iPod desiring the feature in the next iPod.
The survey also showed that iPods were still in extremely high demand with nearly half (45%) of iPod less respondents saying they will most likely buy one this year.

In a classic cup holder style the Macally FMCup is an iPod dock and FM transmitter for your car made simple.
The dock comes with a cigarette lighting charging cable as well as three different docking inserts – so irregardless of which iPod you have it will fit firmly in the cup holder.
The dock has a FM transmitter and Channel buttons on the dock for locating your “free” station. On the back of the cup holder is the Audio-In jack set for any 3.5 mm line-in jack, as well as a sliding release for changing the docks and the plug for the power cord.
Since car cup holders seem to vary in size the dock has four spring loaded sides set to contract or expand for whichever cup holder you have, and as long as your cup holder is by the dash it keeps the iPod in easy viewing range for when you wish to change songs. (Which hopefully you only do at a stoplight!)

The TransPod for the iPod shuffle is basically a mini radio station that broadcasts the Shuffle’s music to the FM radio in your car. The music is played through an unused radio frequency.
The TransPod docks your Shuffle nicely for easy access while it charges. You may end up fighting with your passenger over songs as tuning buttons are positioned on both sides, however you may also miss the tree since someone else can search for your favorite song.
It comes with four preset stations, so you can set it to the frequencies you use most. It also allows you to charge other devices like cell phones and portable gaming systems.
It features a Line-out function for use with a cassette adapter or stereo input cable. It also offers you a Bonus Input that will transmit the audio of any MP3 player or device and it’s great for broadcasting sound from video games or movies in your car, van, truck or boat!

Combining the convenience of a wired remote with new FM radio capabilities, the new iPod Radio Remote from Apple allows 
users to adjust volume, and skip tracks with the iPod in a backpack or pocket, as well as listen to FM radio sations.
“The iPod Radio Remote combines two great features in one elegant product,†said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. “The iPod Radio Remote is both the best remote control and the best FM radio listening experience for iPod.â€
The remote comes with a pair of Apple headphones with a shorter cable that serve two functions – as headphones and as a radio antenna, also the Radio Remote headphones plug into the remote vs the iPod leaving the iPod headphone port available – so you and a friend can jam out to the same music while riding the subway, without the separate headphone splitter.
