		Essentially, the adapter plugs into the portable music device through the headphone jack, which is wired to a cassette that goes in the player and broadcasts through the tape deck.
		The digital sound is absolutely crystal clear, since the iPod is plugged directly into the stereo where a CD changer input would normally be, and all the factory controls (including the buttons on the steering wheel) can be used to switch tracks, change folders and adjust volume.
		The most popular and least expensive option is an FM transmitter, such as the Griffin iTrip, which easily plugs into the bottom of the iPod and broadcasts a weak local FM signal carrying your music that is picked up by your car's radio.

	Semantic Plug and Play
		Hardware plug and play promises that the physical components of an architecture can be changed and continue to function and exchange signals as necessary without excessive dependency on the user's knowledge of how to control their interrelationships.
		A critical step in a semantic plug and play architecture is the semantic mapping of the services of one component to those of another (or to the conceptual schema that brokers the exchange of services between them).
		For semantic plug and play to work economically, this mapping must be compilable, i.e., there need to be tools that compile the mapping into linkages between the services of a tool and services of the enterprise.
