I used to use a CD player that had a built-in transmitter of this nature. (Not exactly a top-notch brand-name product, but functional nonetheless.)

It worked... adequately, at best. FM station interference tended to pop in and out, finding a blank spot on the low end of the dial was problematic, and long trips guaranteed that you'd need to adjust the transmitter's target station at least two or three times.

If you don't have a better solution, it'll do, but there must be a better way. Either Best Buy or Circuit City was hawking a car CD player that handles MP3s in their weekend circular, but I know nothing about either the product in question or its quality.
