Interesting how and why we hang on to the "old-school" stuff. (I still have my vinyl....Not on the road..) I think that you might consider an FM mudulator signal that allows for an auxilary input which gives a somewhat better sound than your cassette adapter or those FM tranmitters. If you want to keep your cassette player in good shape, I'd think you'd want to not keep scratching the heads with the cassette plug-in thingie..... Just my $.02...
