I know its very old school but is anyone using one of these that's good, there are lots on amazon and im a little dubious of the reviews good and bad.  Manufacturers seem to give out freebies so people write reviews what's that about?

This seems to be getting good feedback on detailing world A surprisingly good eBay buy

The one in the link is the same as the one I've just got from Amazon.  Cheap and cheerful but does the job.  There are several versions of casing and I suspect they all have the same circuitry inside.

so far I was looking at the GOGroove flex x3 but they are around £25 and the Mpow Upgraded Streambot Z but neither play back mp3's directly ..  Ill take a look at yours but im with Iron Giant there seems to be hundreds that look identical lol.  I believe some will use the RDS function for the ID3 tags too so im looking into that.  I also want to be able to browse folders and im not sure they all do that.

I've only used mine as a feed for my Ipod Touch so can't comment on it's ability to play mp3s direct.
ie Ipod>bluetooth>FM>Car Radio.

Mine was this one:

I'll have a play with direct mode and get back to you.

Not hugely sophisticated, I put 2 random albums (in their folders) on a 4Gb card, popped it in and it started playing a track, with the track name scrolling across the small screen.  All the tracks were available, but I didn't check how it had them ordered, whether it was by album or track No or aphabetically.

Ah yes that's quite important to,  thanks

Taking a punt on this one.....

As a non iphone/tunes user can anyone recommend a non bloatware converter to change the tracks I would like to add to card and phone to MP3 or WMA as it appears it only plays these formats.

I've decided to get the Mpow Upgraded Streambot Z due to good reviews and simplicity.  I'll just use phone as storage.  I'll let you know what it's like
