Listening to personal music when I'm on the go is one of my favorite things in life. When I'm working out, or driving to work, it is much more enjoyable to listen to my favorite music, rather than commercial radio or silence. An iPod is so great because they can hold more music than I could have ever collected if I were buying CDs.

Portable music players have come along way since the Sony Walkman. Having the ability to walk around with our favorite music was an incredible step forward for the music industry. These days almost everyone has an mp3 player (most likely an iPod). These little devices are extremely easy to use and allow you to hold hundreds of albums in the palm of your hand. When you're in the car however, most people find that their vehicle doesn't have an easy way to hook up an iPod. Because of this, an FM modulator is a popular item for iPod owners.

Most people think that wired FM modulators are the best option. These types of modulators require extensive installation, which will cost you more time and money. The other downfall of wired modulators is that they can only be used in the car. While this is probably where you will use it the most, it is still a nice feature to be able to use it in the home as well (as with a wireless unit).

When you're shopping for FM modulators it is important to know what the important features are. If you accidentally buy a modulator that doesn't perform the way you thought it would, it can be a real bummer. Make sure you get an FM modulator that will allow you to transmit any audio source on any frequency on the public FM band. The best wireless FM modulator should also transmit your audio for up to 150 feet. This is important if you want rich, clear, static free audio.

Sites like eBay and Amazon are a good place to do product research. The feedback on these sites will usually tell you whether or not you're purchasing a quality product. Of course their is always going to be a few people who trash a product even if it's great, but as long as most of the comments are positive you can bet it is a good product.

Wireless FM modulators give you many more options than a wired unit. Being able to use the modulator in multiple vehicles and other locations like your home is a huge advantage. Wireless units are also much easier to use and setup because they require no extensive installation like a wired FM modulator. All in all a wireless FM modulator provides more bang for the buck.
