Advantages: An easy and very cheap solution Disadvantages: Poor quality, poor sound quality, dated technology
...product, so I purchased the Belkin tape solution in the first instance.
****Compatibility****
The Belkin cassette adaptor works with all I-Pods, regardless of the type, be it nano, shuffle, classic or touch. It can also be used with all other MP3 players, including those that a basically a flash drive.
In fact, this product is compatible with all music players with a headphone socket.
****Installation****
Simply plug the cassette adaptor in ... ...****Price and availability****
The Belkin cassette adaptor cost £12.10 from ebuyer.com, although it is available from many other places. Before buying I would recommend carrying out an internet search as you could probably find a good deal.
****Conclusion****
Whilst reasonably cheap this product, in my opinion, is not worth buying as it does not represent value for money.
The I-Pod has great sound quality, even through its headphones, and by ...

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 ... ...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 into MP3 players.
it's small (normal cassette size) and very light weight, the only real down side is the wire ...

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

Advantages: Cheap and it easy to use Disadvantages: A little tempremental
..."music" and got her the Belkin MP3 cassette thingy in the hopes that we could finally listen to some good music.
There are some very good things about this product and some not so good things as well. The good points are its a hell of a lot cheaper than getting a new CD player for the car. It also means that you can listen to 10000's of songs that you have on your MP3 player (or if you don't have an MP3 player it will work exactly the same for a ... ...cable with it (i think its just over a metre) so you can put what ever you plug it into just about anywhere in the front of the car. Now for some of the bad points about it. I'm not sure if this is just my girlfriends tape player but some times when you have the cassette in the cassette player it tries to switch sides and cuts out the music, this is very annoying because it can do this 10 or so times before it besides that it wants to play again. ...

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 ... ...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 in traffic more bearable to me. ...
