I was curious about the range of these things.
Can I set it to any frequency and play my own music when I go into stores?

probably not. the signal is not strong enough to override a frequency with a strong singnal already coming through. you need a channel with (mostly) static. range is said to be 10 feet, but i find it's more like 2 feet. sound quality is good, but you do get interference. it's pretty much unavoidable if you're moving.

I have an iTrip too, and even with the best setting on the tuner, I still get a high pitched ventolin-noise over the transmitted signal. Is it the same with yours?

huh. no. i wonder why you're getting that interference. do you have the volume up too high? though i doubt that would be it, that would probably just distort it. i usually have my iPod volume at about 50% and it sounds good. then again, which generation do you have? i have first gen, so it's pretty old, but i haven't had that sort of problem.

We have the same generation, and I have the volume set at max 50%, so it's nothing wrong there. It disappears in mono, though. Perhaps it's due to some bad contact inside. It doesn't bother me actually, I was just wondering if it was a general issue.
