 Top Picks - iPod Accessories  from your Portable Electronics Guide
The Apple iPod – a MP3 player which revolutionized the portable audio market. Mac and PC owners alike have taken to this gadget like no other. So have third party manufacturers. A huge after-market industry has sprung up, making hundreds of iPod accessories like FM transmitters, auto chargers, specialized headphones, custom speakers, remote controls and more. Here are my picks for some of the best iPod accessories out there.

1) iTrip FM Transmitter from Griffin
The iTrip is one of the most popular iPod accessories. Listening to the iPod through your radio is as easy as turning a side knob to select a FM station which is not being used in your local area. A large LCD screen helps to see what you are doing, multiple broadcasting modes help to get the best possible audio out of your radio and auto volume control helps avoid distortion. There are also US and International FM tuning modes so your iTrip can travel with you on the German Autobahn.

2) iFi Speaker System from Klipsch Audio
The iFi system is one sweet little speaker setup for the iPod. Packed in this grouping are two satellite speakers which employ a 3.5” aluminum woofer and .75” titanium dome compression driver; an 8” subwoofer that puts out 200 watts; a dock cradle which lines in iPod audio, charges the player and provides volume control functions including a light bar to indicate the current volume level; and a remote which controls the entire iPod + speaker audio system.

3) iCase Travel Pack from Monster
If you’re on the go a lot with your iPod, the iCase Travel Pack might be worth checking out. This lightweight carrying case allows you to carry your iPod, multiple other accessories, cables and more in various pockets and compartments. All of your iPod elements are protected by a durable Nylon shell which zips up via rubberized zipper pulls. Monster throws in two additional items, a car charger and a splitter which allows you to share your tunes with another person, as part of the deal.
