I was thinking the same. I really really want to get one. Not wanting to sound gay, but they look really good together ( SE phone + MMR-60 ). No offence etaab but I dont like the idea of the 3.5mm connecter and the tunecast hanging off the edge of a nice SE phone. Some people have said they aint to clever, yet some say they've had no problems. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get one. Could always throw it on Ebay if its shite! |

I might just do the same, my 3.5mm adaptor broke in the car, how cheap is that ? i should have just got myself a HPM-70 to use with the Tunecast.
The upside to the Tunecast and the long extention cable is, i can plug my phone into it (along with all the cables), coil it up in the small coin holder below the stereo so its out of sight and i still get relatively good signal quality from it - no need to have wires hanging all over the car interior. 
Im still debating whether to buy a MMR-60 or not, simply to replace the Tunecast, but if the reception in my car is poor, it'll be useless to me.

Do you a deal. You buy one, and if its any good, your a winner. But if its no good, I'll buy it off you. You can't lose! |

At a knocked down price, maybe? There's me going on about buying one and I haven't even got a phone it'll fit on to! I'm waiting for the W810i to come out on Orange. I phoned them today and said it's due out early April. Can't wait! |

Well, my cheap crappy 3.5mm adaptor broke the other day, which i use with my Tunecast, so now im considering buying the MMR-60 and biting the bullet.
I'll let you know whether i decide to buy one, or not.

I decided not to buy one, and instead bought a new CD player for my car.
By far the best decision ive made in a long time.

Sick of fm transmitters eh?
Did you get a CD player with an external audio source rca or 3.5mm input? That and a HPM-70 or MMC-60 would make the whole issue of fm transmitters in the car a mute point.

It was a £400 JVC cd player, half price !.
Simply could not say no. It has the RCA type connectors at the rear.
I wanted a Sony stereo with not only the RCA connectors but a 3.5mm line-in, but of all the ones i chose none were in stock so i went for a slightly more expensive JVC.

nice. You should definitely invest in the MMC-60, I think you'll be quite surprised just how good it sounds. One thing, you will be strongly tempted to use 128 or better AAC compression - the MMC-60 really shows how much better 192 or 128 Kbps compression is compared to 64 or even 96Kbps. I'm now using 128Kbps myself (and will re-rip everything to 192Kbps when I get a bigger mem card).

Well i never use bitrates lower than 128kbps anyway so all my mp3 files sound great anyway. Ill probably sell the tunecast now and not bother with the mmr-60 at all.

I must admit I've changed my tune, I used to use 64Kps on some tracks, and 96 on some that didn't translate that well at 64. But that was a hang over from the K700 where space was a premium. I've finaly got my shit together and had a proper listen to 128 and 192 aac rips via the mmc-60 rca lead straight into my stereo, and I was suitably impressed. After listening via stereo I went back to the headsets and the difference was obvious there also. Enough that I'm now wearing shorter playtime for better quality. Once I get a 2GB msdp, I'll go from the 128 I'm using now to 192. To bad it tops out there
