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 homehi-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 into MP3 players.
it's small (normal cassette size) and very light weight, the only real down side is the wire trail.
I haven't noticed any loss of quality using this adapter even when playing the music LOUD!
