I think its okay for FM, it seems to sort out range compression too
so the tracks are of a similar volume. Long trips: I agree entirely,
but in the places I travel mostly in the car (I use the bike for most
of my stuff so dont need an iTrip for that) seem to be happy on
101.4FM which Ive put as a pre-set on the car radio and thats fine
during the day and at night.
