`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0001] This invention relates to audio player devices and more particularly to systems
`
`that include headphone listening devices. The new audio system uses an existing
`
`headphone jack (i.e., this is the standard analog headphone jack that connects to wired
`
`headphones) of a music audio player (i.e., portable CD player, portable cassette player,
`
`portable A.M./P.M. radio, laptop/desktop computer, portable MP3 player, and the like) to
`
`connect a battery powered transmitter for wirele
