hmm...i got one for only a couple US dollars...just check around.

As for quality, it's not he greatest, but it's pretty decent. I use one with my mini iPod (until I get a new headunit put in), and I don't really have any complaints...well, if the music is quite (or in between songs), I can hear the tape deck working...but that could just be my car...lol

Anyone compared one to FM transmitter? I would think the transmitter would sound better.

the only problem with FM transmitters are the interference, and stations with very strong signals tend to defeat it, well at least, that is what's happening on my iTrip... and you need to get it as near as possible to your car stereo...

wow you have a cassette player in your car? j/k

an fm transfitter is nice for wireless capabilities, but i hear that sometimes it gets staticy depending on where your at. well some are saying that with their ipods.

my boy has a the cassette adaptor for his ipod and it sounds good to me. i mean your not goign to win any sound off or antyhing, but it gets the job done with no problems.

check radio shack or walmart for the tape adaptor. 20 is way too much

you get static sometimes, and i've heard people can tune in to what your listening too. LOL

come to think about it may be possible, then again it may not since the range is prob like 1mtr

I highly recommend Sony's cassette adapter. I use it with my iPod..sounds great. Worth the US$20 retail price if you can't help finding it elsewhere for cheaper.

from what i remember cassette adapters > than fm transmitters. but if you dont have the option of a cassette adapter i would go for an fm modulator, it plugs in where your antenna plugs in the back of your radio and has a much better signal and you can still play the radio when it's off.
