Hi Carol,
 
Essentially, it is a cassette tape shell, with a wire coming out of it, and
a standard 3.5mm jack plug on the other end.  You put it in your cassette
deck, plug the other end into your Book Courier, or MP3 player, or whatever,
and it allows it to play through the cassette deck.
 
All the best

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
