The use of devices, such as Griffin's "iTrip", was banned in the UK as their transmissions can interfere with broadcasts by legal radio stations. However, the device and other similar accessories for MP3 players have been widely available online. Now certain FM transmitters, which can be tuned to spare frequencies, will be legal from 8 December. [ snip ] Full story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6177820.stm Ole Ole J.
