I purchased an iTrip off eBay for $30 shipped. I wasnt expecting it to work good due to the many negative reviews I have read about it.

First off, Radio Shack was only good for2 things, battery snaps and a battery. I purchased everything from www.allelectronics.com. The article linked above describes using a 12v car adapter, I wanted to make it portable so I am using one 9v battery. I had a 12v 200mA AC-DC adapter, it fried 3 transistors so I dont recomend that.
