Belkin Components Car cassette adapter

Advantages: Cheap!!
Disadvantages: Low quality

...found one by Belkin. Belkin offers the iPod Auto Cassette Adapter. This item is pretty cheap starting at as low as $6 and at most $20. Basically you plug in the casette, which has a cable with a connector that can connect to your iPod, into your cassette player and then connect your iPod to the connector. Now you can listen to your iPod tunes in your car or through your receiver at home. Now there are some downsides...you know that saying "You get ...
...pretty self-explanatory here...this item is a cheap alternative and if you want you can take the chance but I warn you, as many others would too, that the sound quality is not good. Also the whole apparatus is not high quality, cheap plastic and not much more. Now for those that have no alternate choice...I say go for it - especially if you can get your hands on it for under $10 - it's definately worth that price but no more. ... Read review

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: technology

...car. Dell offered me the Belkin cassette adapter, a lower cost alternative to the Dell brand cassette adapter. I am very disappointed by this piece. The sound is quite good. Virtually no interference, clean and clear, their music is played as if they are up to date right away from a CD. There is no static of all kinds The tape is the noise of grinding, while inside the cassette is remarkable, especially between songs. But the worst part of this ...
...incompatible cassette adapter that I have ever seen. Almost all the tapes that I turned this adapter on the tape. At the beginning I thought that my own drive, because I am with the radio Ford generics, which came with my scanner. However, I have tested what happens in about 6 other cars, and the same thing. This band seems to confuse some cassettes, and are good for quite a while to play and then suddenly change, to stop and the possibilities of ... Read review

Advantages Gives the great sound quality of an IPod
Disadvantages Uses more battery power than normal usage of an IPod

...I use mine with my IPod 4G. The sound quality is amazing, as good as my IPod and better than sound quality that I get using the radio or tape cassette in my car. The hardest part of using this product is getting it out of the sealed plastic packaging it comes in. After that is a simple case of popping it into your cassette player and plugging it into the earphone socket of your MP3 player then you can control what you listen to through the normal controls of your MP3 player. The volume you can control through the MP3 player and your cassette controls so if you like your music loud you can achieve double the volume by using both controls. The only disadvantage to this is it does seem to drain the IPod battery quicker than normal usage would. That aside I would recommend this product to anyone, it has certainly made getting stuck...

Advantages Allows you to listen to your mp3 player in your car
Disadvantages Very Poor Quality Of Sound!

...this product worked fine in my friend's car. I have a Y-Reg Volkswagen Polo, which has a side-load cassette mechanism... so don't buy this if you have a Volkswagen! I used to have a Sony cassette adapter, which worked perfectly, but sadly it broke, giving the reason why I bought this one. The durability of the Belkin one looks even worse. It is very delicate, any slight touch to the wire or the portable device causes bad sound quality. If you want my advice... if you have a modern head unit in your car, it will probably have aux inputs at the back. So buy an aux to 3.5mm jack cable, and connect it to your head unit. This surely would produce better sound quality. Anyway, the Belkin case holder which fits my iPod to my dashboard that came with the cassette adapter is great. Pity I just can't listen to it :( Overall, it's a pretty useful... Read review

Advantages play MP3's through an old stereo
Disadvantages few

...I remember this kind of thing from about 20 years ago, but it wasn't half as usefull as it is know. With one of these cassette adapter you can play any hi tech portable Ipod / MP3 player though any stereo system with a tape deck. You just plug the headphone jack (standard 3.5mm like you find on nearly all uk earphones) into the socket of your mp3 player, stick the cassette in the stereo, and set both the mp3 player and stereo to play, instantly the sound from your mp3 player comes out of your stereo speakers. I bought mine for use in my car, and it served me well till I replaced the car with one with CD stereo. Now it's sat in my home hi-fi tape deck, any time I want to listen to my Ipod I can just plug it into the wire coming out of the tape deck and fill the house with my MP3 tunes. Instantly modernises old stereo systems... Read review
