There are a few different size headphone jacks, and your cassette player is probably mono, so you may need a plug adapter. A trip to Radio Shack and a few bucks and you should be set.

It works with any standard car cassette player. That being said I would not buy this product. Mine stopped working a few weeks after I bought it.

What do you think? Yes I did. It says I-pod mini compatible but the I-pod mini ( shuffle?) does not have the receiver required for the for this fm transmitter device to connect via....- there isn't a 3.5mm jack anywhere on this itrip auto fm transmitter- maybe I have to buy a separate part? Who knows, there isn't any discussion related that I could find a quick answer, and you don't seem to help..

Theoretically it should work with any cassette player, but the one I got did not work well at all; very low signal output.

Good question. This is the reason I bought the product. However, it will not work with all factory bluetooth stereo systems. It seems there is a compatibility issue. I tried everything and I was able to get the transmitter to connect to my ford sync system. It connected and even allowed me to control my iPod using the car stereo controls BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND... No matter how hard I tried there was no sound coming from anywhere. It was rather disappointing. I would say take your chance for the price (cause it is low) and if anything, this TX and RX system works amazing with my iPod dock and my bluetooth home stereo system. When you find something that it does work with, the audio is indistinguishable from my being picky at downloads of 320 kbps.

You cannot connect a cassette player to this device. The Audio-In or Aux-In port is for a 3.5 mm type jack or plug.

Every mp3 player works in the car. Where is the point of the question? If you have a radio with the Cassette, simply buy a cassette adapter, and with 5 dollars you can listen your mp3 player in through yor autoradio. If you have an AUX port in your radio, buy a cord with two males connectors ( probably 3 dollars and radioshack ) and voila' ... you can listen your music in your car. Isn't that simple?

It doesn't play cassettes in the unit, but it has an input jack and a short connection cable. That can be hooked up toany device with a headphone output. So it can act as a portable speaker for cell phones, MP3 players, laptops etc.That works very well.

I don't know what kind of cassette player I have, but it works on mine. I would imagine it would work in any cassette player.

I use a boombox for my Cassettes so i can do it eather way. Use a dual mini Plug out of the Boombox or what ever you are using this way you can check your conversion and listen if you want. Off of the duel plug one side to your computer and the other side to a headset or whatever you want to monitor your conversion with. works just fine. Good Luck. OneBigSki

Most any MP3 player will work for books. A couple of things you may want to consider --- Where do you plan on downloading your books from? Many libraries have services where you can "check out" downloadable media and listen to books for free. Unfortunately, most of these services DON'T work with Ipods or Zunes. If you plan on using one of these services, check their website for compatibility. I also primarily listen to books on my MP3 player. I had an Ipod Nano (my daughter accidentally lost it!) and it was my favorite. I really miss it and keep trying to convince myself to splurge and buy another. My son has a Creative Zen and it also works well for audiobooks. Some of the lower end, cheaper units are designed primarily for music. With these, it's hard to access a specific track. So, for instance if you're on chapter 20 of a book and accidentally lose your place, then you have to "click" through 20 chapters to get back to where you were. On the better units like the Ipods and the Zen, you can go right to it. (for instance, sometimes I forget to turn the player off when I turn the car off and it's hours ahed of me) If you ever listen to more than one book at a time, make sure it has a bookmark feature. Otherwise you'll lose your place in book 1 when you switch to book 2 and back.

Hi, Sorry I have no idea how to answer you question. I bought this product because it was highly recommended for transferring cassettes to CD's. It did not dissapoint. I am selling it now, in great condition if you are interested.

Like a normal cassette but this thing didn't work in my car tape deck. Good luck!

I am still having difficulties with the USB Cassette working. I thought it was me, but a friend that is really savy in recording said that the USB Cassette is stopping during play back. Now I will need to find how to get a replacement. Waited a long time for this one to arrive only to find out it is partially inoperative.

This walkman is used to listen to CDs, not cassettes. It uses two AA batteries, but also has a connection to the "cigarette lighter" (not shown). So you can decide which way you want to use it to listen to CDs. I keep batteries in it all the time, but do connect it to the car lighter some of the time.

Never tried it, but as long as you have the proper adapter, these would not "know or care" what the source is. The transmitter plugs in to your device. However, if the output sound or output plug itself is not stereo, such as on some portable cassette players, you of course will not get stereo. The range depends of the obstacles and battery power, but I have gone out to my mailbox, a good 50 yards, and not lost the sound.

Lokamaya, I haven't used any cassette players in the past 10 years. But I remember that they be powered by rechargeable NiMH cells just fine. Same thing with portable CD players. The small difference in voltages (between alkaline and NiMH) should not matter at all, because internally the motors are running off a regulated volatge. If you are having problems using NiMH cell in your players, then the root cause could be that your rechargeable batteries are suffering from reduced capacity. Try some Sanyo eneloop (or other good quality LSD cells) and you should see the difference.
