Getting my bro's Toyota Carina for the year (it's our old family car) and it's got a cassette/radio in there which doesn't bode well for my iPod (30gb video) and CD (little sony jobby) collection.
I don't really want to try replacing the unit just yet, so looking for a stopgap in the meantime.
So I've been wondering - these cassette thingies that have a headphone cable on them, are they any good? Do you lose any/much quality using them? I know cassettes in themselves aren't that great but I figured that's more to do with the actual cassette tape itself, and as this basically fools the player into thinking it's a real tape, maybe it'd sound better.
Also, FM transmitters, are they any good? At least it'd be less messy, keeping the iPod in the glove compartment or something, but I'd imagine the sound quality would suffer quite a bit.
