Cassette Adapter


Ok so if you didnt know i got a car for my 18th birthday a Ford Escort 1997 and it doesnt have a CD player only a Cassette player so i bought an Cassette Adapter but every minuite it will try and change side's i think. i will be singing to a song then it will cut off then play through the back speakers for 5 seconds then cut off again then start playing for another minute and doesnt stop.
Does anyone know how i can fix this? my friend said put a pen in to stop it changing sides but i dont think thats the right way.

Thanks

Or maybe get one of the radio things instead of the tape things. Personally I think the audio quality is better, and you can get them pretty cheap from ebay.

Re: Cassette Adapter


I used to have a tape adapter. It should change sides as it's designed not to get to the end of the tape, in fact it shouldn't have any tape, just look like one with a wire hanging out!

Sounds like it's broken and I'd recommend forking out £10 for a new one. I had to after the 1st one was a cheap nasty one that broke in a few weeks!

I'm on my phone so can't find any links right now.

I used to have similar problems when I had one due to the cassette player being auto reverse, but all I had to do if it didnt start playing ok was to push the button to play the other side. Doesnt appear to be the problem here.

Then I got one of those these Belkin TuneBase - FM Transmitter for iPod: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

One of the best things I've bought as it holds the iPod, charges it and a much better quality sound.

Thanks for all the help. i bought it from play trade for about £2. I have looked for CD players with a 3.5 jack and there all above £50 and i dont realy have that sort of money. I have an FM transmitter but its not very good it has to be next to the radio and the battery go really quick on mine. So does noone reccommend putting a pen in there to stop it changing sides
