    I have a Zen Micro that I want to use in my car but the CD player doesn't have a line in. I've considered using a Radio Transmitter but the sound is supposed to be better with the line in method and the reception can vary.

    Does anyone have a bog standard CD player headunit with line in and willing to sell?

    Alternatively a suggestion of somewhere i can get one cheap?

    Personally I'd go with the FM transmitter (hey, here's one in my bag!). The sound quality is fine from them (IMHO) as long as you find the right station. They come with a car charger so you'll never have to worry about running out of power. Less mucking around and it you take it from car to car with you. Sorted.

    Are you sure your head unit doesn't have an auxiliary/CD changer socket at the back? You can get the right cable for that to hook up to your MP3 player.
