I've got one here, cost me less than a tenner - coupled with a 4Gb micro-SD-card in an ancient Nokia phone (no longer used as a phone) works rather well. You just plug the transmitter's input into the phone's 3.5mm headphone-jack.....

I also use one of these, repurposed when I decided to stop running a car. It only cost a couple of quid, and covers the whole of the house in clear mono or hissy stereo without an external aerial. I mainly use it to relay DAB - only talk stations like LBC or Times Radio from a tatty old Roberts RD60. Sound quality and frequency stability are excellent. I power it from a scavenged 12V wall wart, but it would work on 5V if I could be bothered to bypass the built in 7805.
It has a built in MP3 player and will take USB pendrives or micro SD cards.
