Carol,
A cassette adapter is what looks like a compact cassette connected to which is 
a cable with a plug at its end which can be inserted into the headphone socket 
on a device such as a personal CD player. The device could be used, for 
example, for allowing a personal CD player to be played through a cassette 
in-car stereo system.

  Sorry to be of the "double thick" variety here, but what are these cassette 
adapters?

    Hi Iain,

    Just to add to that, I think you can get them from Maplin, 
http://www.maplin.co.uk, and yes, they do work with the Book Courier.

    All the best

    I had one of these adaptors. It would only work on machines where the 
cassette is slid in through a slot in the front as otherwise it would not be 
possible to close the cassette door.

      Hi Darran

      No auxiliary sockets, very simple stereo, just want basic speaker output 
for spoken word material.

        James, I've never seen the Book Currier, but isn't it possible to 
simply connect the gadget to an auxiliary socket on your stereo system via a 
3.5 jack?

          Hi all

          Have been thinking about the possibility of getting a cassette 
adapter to enable me to listen to my Book Courier through my regular stereo at 
home, which would save me having to buy another set of speakers that I haven't 
really got room for.  Anyway, I have a stereo where the cassette deck door 
opens forwards, moving outwards from the front of the machine, if that makes 
any sense to anyone.  I was wondering if there are cassette adapters which will 
work with this setup and if someone could recommend one.  A lot of them are 
advertised "in-car adapter", but I'm not buying a car just to have a very 
simple speaker setup for my Book Courier. Might sound like a simple question, 
but I've never used one before!

          Thanks

          James
