Broadcasting computer audio to FM radio channel. Where to find one?
unclet:
I current have something which connects to the mini RCA sound jack on the back of my computer and then broadcasts the audio sound to a particular FM channel (ie: 89.2, etc..). As a result, when I tune my FM dial to this channel, then I can hear the audio from my computer.
Thing is, this little hardware thing I have is battery operated and I would like to replace it with something which can be plugged in all the time since the batteries drain quickly.
I am not sure what these things are called or where to look to find one which does not use batteries.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Why not just take an adapter that outputs the correct voltage (usually 1.5V or 3V) and connect it into where the batteries go?
unclet:
I was hoping this might be an option, but I have no idea where to solder the wires to make it work. I do have various spare adapters so I believe I can find a suitable one to use.
Currently the little hardware thing I have uses two AAA batteries (positioned side by side to each other) for power. Will you please explain where the wires should go?
HaRuMaN:
Typically, in a side by side arrangement, one end will be connected ( a solid piece of metal that touches both batteries ) and the other end will have two separate contacts. You'll want to solder to the end that has separate contacts. Solder positive to positive, and negative to negative, and you should be fine. If you can't figure out which end is which, post a pic and I'll point you in the right direction.

I never had much luck with the cheapo FM transmitters. I was always tempted to buy one of these: http://tinyurl.com/yteco8
