"XtremeMac on Tuesday released a gadget designed to let users listen to music stored on their iPods via any FM radio.

"The transmitter, dubbed the AirPlay, also works with the iPod Mini, Xtreme Mac said. The device transfers audio wirelessly from the music player to any FM radio, making it an attractive add-on, the company said, for people who don’t have casette or CD players in their cars.

"The gadget features a digital display that shows which frequency you’ll be transmitting on, and it does not require navigation of iPod menus. The display turns off after tuning to conserve the iPod battery, XtremeMac said. When the iPod begins to play, AirPlay automatically transmits on the last used radio frequency. The device costs $39.95, the company said."
