That's my solution too. I like the portability
of the MP3 player and the sound quality through
the FM transmitter is good enough for me. And
I get to keep my tape player which I use quite
a bit on long trips. I listen to book tapes which
I borrow from the library. So I don't have to fiddle
around too much when I'm driving to change a tape.
Now if I can just have a quick way of getting tapes
transferred to an SD card....
:)
