Carol,
the truth is that it was a bit clunky. I am surprised that they are still
available. Using a personal CD player as in-car entertainment could lead to a
festoonment of cables as not only was there the one from the in-car cassette
deck, but there could also be the one from the personal CD player to the car-s
cigarette lighter to power the CD player. Heath Robinson springs to my mind.
Iain.

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
