"High Power Transmitter" This FM transmitter was purchased for the drive from Omaha, NE to Orlando, FL. I think I had to change the station twice due to static build-up. I have owned many FM transmitters in the past, and I was leery of buying another one since they usually don't work very well. I was swayed by the good reviews for this product, and I have not been disappointed! No, it's not CD quality sound but it's pretty close. The transmitter overpowers local radio stations, even. My only complaint is that, in order to change the frequency on the transmitter, I have to use the remote. Not a big deal, in any case.
If someone is looking for a way to play their MP3 player in their car and it is impractical or costly to get an MP3 port added to the car stereo, I strongly recommend this product as a solution. For those looking for their specific car, it fits just fine in a 2004 F150 in the passenger seat 12V outlet. You may want to get an extension cord, however, so that your MP3 player can sit in the cupholder or in a compartment somewhere. The one that comes with the transmitter is quite short. I've used it for about a month now and about 50 hours of play time. It just works. If I find it to have good longevity, this'll be the perfect FM transmitter!

"Good For Music, Not Good for Long Audio Files" This item will work well if you will be using it for music or short audio files. Unfortunately the reason I purchased it was to listen to long (40+ minutes) audio files. The bookmarking features does not work well with long audio files. Many times the bookmarking feature did not save the location I bookmarked and it was very difficult to fast forward to the location.
I really hoped the bookmarking feature would have worked correctly for me. I can't find another type of unit like this where the bookmarking feature works correctly.

"Outstanding product" I listen to audio books during my daily commute. The costs of CDs gets a little expensive. I considered purchasing an FM transmitter and originally got one for $20. It did not work well and I had almost given up on the idea. I decided after reading the reviews at Amazon to try the SoundFly. Wow, what a difference. The fast forward feature is very useful. I haven't quite gotten the hang of the bookmark feature but I have a feeling that I will use it often. Decent signal and you can adjust the base and treble of the device. The fact that you can pre-program the stations is very helpful especially if you travel through different cities. I use the SD chip to load up my audio books and it works like a charm. I have used the audio link to my laptop and the thumbdrive. Each works just as well.
The one caveat that seems to be a standard issue for these fm transmitters. That is the ordering of the songs/audio book chapters. When you copy from Microsoft in bulk, it does not copy in order. This problem is especially painful when you are dealing with audio books. Near as I can tell, the Soundfly plays the files in 'date modified' order. So when Microsoft copies the fifth song first, it plays the fifth song first. I found a utility called 'reorganize' which does a great job in copying the files in the proper sequence and eliminates this problem.

"Best FM transmitter I've tried or heard of, hands down." I tried a transmitter, it didn't work at all. Tried another one, it worked for awhile, mysteriously quit. I tried the Satechi and finally, something that worked. No, the sound quality is not perfect, and I didn't expect that. For what it is, it's great. Play with the sound a bit (bass, treble, and volume) on both the transmitter and your stereo. This really helped minimize buzzing and get the best quality possible.
