===What is a DMX Dongle or Bridge===
An FM transmitter is generally a portable device that plugs into the headphone jack or proprietary output port of a portable audio or video device, such as a portable media player, CD player, or satellite radio system but can also be a stationary device that plugs into the headphone or line out jack of a computer. The sound is then broadcast through the transmitter, and plays through an FM broadcast band frequency. Purposes for an FM transmitter include playing music from a device through a car stereo, or any radio.
