Product Description

Product Description
Although designed to accompany the Rio series of MP3 players, the Rio 600 Car Cassette Adapter MP3 is in fact the perfect accessory for anyone who wants to use their portable music device while on the move.

Simply insert the cassette into your car cassette player and plug the attached 3.5 mm minijack into the headphone socket of your MP3 player, CD Walkman, LCD TV or other portable device. Finally turn the cassette player on and you'll hear your music, loud and clear. A very handy device indeed and the ideal way to extend the capabilities of any portable music player.

2.0 out of 5 stars Expert in Audio electronics no included, 15 Oct 2003
although the Rio cassette adapter is useful, the cable is far weaker than that of other cassette adapters. i bought 2 for friends and both have stopped working due to wire in the cable breaking. i work in a music shop so i was able to repair the item myself by replacing the wire with a higher quality one. My advice is if u need one quick and cheap come here and be very very careful with the way you use and abuse the wire - especially watch the entrance to the cassette and the 3.5mm jack socket. Unfortunately, however careful you are with it you may end up replacing the wire.

2.0 out of 5 stars Briefly Excellent, 22 Sep 2003
By Mr AI "aideveloper" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This product does what it says on the tin: it lets you play CD, Minidisc or Gameboy sound through your car Tape player.

I found it excellent, with good sound quality and couldn't be easier to use.

But the build quality is very poor (I'm surprised at the review that says this is one of the BETTER quality versions!). The connectors rapidly deteriorated and the sound is now very poor.

The wires are so prone to internal cracking that after 6 months, my version requires a good 5 minutes of careful balancing before the sound comes through in stereo.

Overall I wouldn't discourage you from buying it, but don't look at it as a £5 purchase. Look at it as an ongoing £5 per six month rental, as you need to buy frequent replacement units.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's cheap for a reason, 10 Jan 2004
I bought this to go with my Rio 800. It was okay to start with but after less than a year the cable is going and the cassette adaptor squeaks a lot as it's running, easily ruining some songs. The cable takes about 10 minutes of pratting about with before I can get proper sound, but then if I turn a corner it goes again. Very annoying. I paid about £18 at the time, but I'd say £5 is about right, because it's cheap rubbish. Avoid. I wouldn't recommend a Rio player either, look elsewhere there's plenty of choice.
