MP3 to FM transmitters broadcast an MP3 player's signal over a radio frequency, allowing people without expensive car stereos to listen to their devices on long road trips. These transmitters have been unbanned in the United Kingdom, after a year long battle for the right to use them. The only condition of the unbanning: the transmitter must carry the CE mark. Griffin Technology's iTrip was given the CE mark this Spring.

Radio is use is controlled to prevent an overlap with emergency services useage, and commercial use.

no its to do with some 50year old transmitting law that you had to have a license to transmit across a frequency
