im looking for one of the cheap cassette to stereo mini plug things. i can buy one locally for around $10, so if you have one lying around i'd be interested. i was hoping to spend maybe $5 total.

your not going to find a $5.00 cassette adapter when they run for $20. at the store. your better off buying one locally for $10.
stay away from generic tape adapters, they're garbage. get yourself a sony one, they are the best.

This is definately a case of you get what you pay for. Sony, Philips, Monster- YES! Shack, generic, etc.? NO!

I find a lot of belkin stuff suck. Don't know if it's classed as generic but it should be :cool: It's certainly not known for it's quality in music like sony, philips etc.
They seem to be more known for their cases etc for both the PDA and Ipod market.

i got a sony adaptor, and it worked for about 3 weeks, until my factory car stereo randomly began issuing a "broken tape" error, and ejecting it. hot weather, cold weather, it didn't matter. it seemed to be completely random. i bought a philps adaptor, and so far, it's been working just fine. i really don't think there's a science to it. some work with some cars better than others. some are just crap. some work well.
i only paid $10 for the philips model at walmart. i'd start with that first, because everyone lives near a walmart, so you won't have to pay for shipping, and everyone wastes $10 a week anyway, so if it doesn't work, it really won't be a big deal.
