or you could just push down an Aux Cassette, plug in your device, and listen to everything you could imagine?
Well if your car didn't have one you had to do something else. It's an easy concept to grasp lol

It took me moving Country to get out of this situation, as my old Toyota was basically indestructible. Now I have Bluetooth, and the only CD is The Blues Brothers OST, which is stuck in the slot.
There are way way worse CDs to get stuck.
Obligatory Don't worry... It comes around again.

Bluetooth is nice too since you can use the media controls on the steering wheel. In case your mix contains tracks which aren't fire. Ok I see where I made the mistake. Aux is sufficient.

Not a problem I've ever had.

I loved these things. Never understood how they worked (still don’t) but I didn’t care!
Technology Connections has covered how they work.

The original aux cable! And you never needed to pair shit!

This somehow makes me feel older than the hip pain does
I think it'e because of how long ago it was. I feel like society hasn't changed very much since ~2012 (last time this was necessary) so it all feels like one long continuous blur. And then you realize that was 13 years ago.

I had a lil radio emitter that plugged into the iPod so it would replace the local stations !
I loved setting mine to the frequency of a local station and watching the confusion in other cars at a stop light if they were listening to the same frequency. I didn't do it too often because it is pretty annoying though and not too hard to figure out who's doing it.

Lol my dad had one. I'm Gen Z.
I last saw that in like 2016 (car was like made in like the 2000s). Then the new cars didn't even have the casette thing anymore.

I had an adapter like that from aliexpress because my car didn't have bluetooth.
Those things were awesome. I had an old vehicle that only had an 8 track. My options were to listen to Don't Look Back for the thousandth time or pick one of those up (in the days before ali express) and plug my CD player into it.
I did listen to Don't Look Back a lot.

If the car was old enough you could plug a cassette adapter into an 8 track adapter.

Dear god, I had one of these. I was driving a 74 Ford pickup with an 8-track and it was the only way to play my music through the single speaker in the dash. High fidelity.

You may have missed the protective film on the magnet head. When I had one, it was a night and day difference once I got the protective film off.
It's a bit late to check that but I'm pretty sure i didn't have any protective film there.

Strange. The quality should be about the best a cassette or aux cable could deliver. They are basically just two electromagnets controlled by the audiosignal.
They are so simple there isn't a lot to do badly.
Yeah it's cassette quality. That's what I'm talking about. It wasn't anywhere near the quality of a direct AUX connection.

Psshhht. I used to have a microphone that let me SING ON THE RADIO. It literally put me on the FM airwaves. You may have heard some of my stuff.
