Cassette Players ?

Some have cassettes, some have CD players, and some have just AM/FM... or the worse.. plain AM. I haven't seen a plain AM radio in a looong time though.

 

Your showing your age mentioning 8 tracks. I hate to admit that I still have a couple hundred out in shop that I swear I am going to put on cd someday. Right along side all the other projects I need to get on.

 

8 track..Isn't that a figure 8 race track?

 

I can vouch that the ex's 2005 Freightliner has a cassette deck in it. I had to make lots of tapes before he went out on the road. And he bought one of those little adapters that use plug into a portable CD player and run it through the cassette.

 

If your truck has a fm radio but does not have a CD player, you might want to invest in a FM transmitter. Just plug it to your favorite media player (CD Player, iPod, etc) and plug the other end to a cigarette lighter, tune in your fm radio at a set frequency as the fm transmitter and viola! You can play anything from CD's, MP3's, heck even your laptop computer on the radio.

 

Also you can buy a cassette adapter that turns your cassette player into a cd player. The adapter looks like a cassette. Simply plug in the cassette into the player, other end into the cd player and *poof* ya got tunes of all sorts. You can find these at Walmart for $10. I have one in my car.

almost forgot. it works for Ipods too. We had bought our adapter so we could hook my daughters Ipod up in my Jeep.
