If you're referring to an FM transmitter, those things have recently been legalised in Ireland, so they're widely available now. Tommys in the Blanch shopping centre were selling them for about 20 quid. Lidl were selling then recently also, for even less. You'll probably find them in any gadget store now.

There are different brands but they all have basically the same build and can be used for any mp3 player/cd player/mini-disc etc- basically anything that has a headphone socket.

Harvey Norman (all branches AFAIK) are now stocking large numbers of the Belkin Tunecast II - which is one of the better models of FM transmitter available. You will, however, get it much cheaper online than in a store.

I bought the iKool transmitter in Tommys and find it very good. Works off three AAA batteries.

Will work with any mp3/cassette/CD player. Just plug it into the headphone socket.

Here's a (blurry) picture of mine with my Cowon A2:

Get onto the Creative forums they might have a work around.

use the cleanup option:


From http://ask.europe.creative.com:


Detach the ZEN Vision:M player from your PC , and ensure that the unit is off.
If the battery is too low, charge the battery fully before continuing

Slide the Power switch towards the Power icon and hold the switch in the Power On position.
Push the end of a pin-like object (for example, a straightened paper clip) into the reset hole, press gently and remove.


Release the Power switch when the Creative logo appears. The Recovery Mode appears:
Select Clean Up from the Recovery Mode, and then select Reboot.
