I use a Belkin FM transmitter and when you plug it into the Belkin iPod Car Charger, it amplifies its effectiveness and it is capable of broadcasting over some of my area's more powerful stations. And be really carefull when getting a case... some of them look nice and are nice, but are really hard to use with your iPod... My Belkin black leather case is good protection, but the little plastic screen cover also covers the click wheel... making it almost impossible to use it while in the case.
