 A useful adapter for anyone with music players. August 22, 2002
26 out of 29 found this review helpful
This is an extremely practical device that allows you to listen to CD, mini disc and of course mp3 players. In fact this device can be used to play anything, with a standard headphone output, on a car stereo without the cost of installing an expensive car player.pThere are however some simple problems with the cassette adapter: the cable is very delicate and easy to break, however it needs to be small enough to enter the cassette deck of a car stereo system. A small slit at the bottom of the device allows some protection to the cable when inserting the adapter and this means the adapter can be inserted "a" or "b" side without too much complication. The cable is long enough to reach any little cubby-hole or cup holder to hold your audio player (it can reach my glove-box no problem). brAlso on some cassette decks i have noticed that the adapter rattles as the car stereo attempts to play the cassette shaped adapter. This is because of a cogwheel system inside the adapter, which is made out of plastic components that rattle against the side of the adapter.pApart from these minor problems the adapter is a reasonably good package, in some cases achieving higher quality sound than a normal cassette due to a digital source. To keep this sound quality the magnetic head of the adapter should be kept clean of dust and dirt, as does the head of the car cassette deck. This can be done by inserting a "cleaning cassette", available at many stores.pOther uses for this product could include a makeshift hands free set for mobile phones by slightly modifying the adapter cable to connect with a particular model of mobile phone (if you are prepared to shout at the phone when driving). You can even let passengers play there own music on a car stereo whether it's a CD, mp3, or mini disc. This is one of the better adapters I've seen, but it could still be better and is slightly expensive compared to other adapters.
