now this is actually kind of cool

If someone just put an mp3 player into a cassette tape box, I’d probably make fun of it. If someone made it look like a cassette tape, that’d be a bit cooler.
Now, if that cassette tape mp3 player could both stand alone and be played in a regular cassette deck? Now that’s cool. That’s what you have with the Cassette MP3 Player.
I don’t know what your set up is, but in my car (where I have my only cassette player these days), I have one of those cassette adapters which is sort of annoying but usually functional. What would be cool would be to just take your mp3 player and stick it into the slot. No wires hanging out[1] or anything like that.
Also cool about the Cassette MP3 Player is:
- Accepts SD cards as memory, making it pretty cheap to make a 2GB or 4GB player (I have 2GB cards just lying around)
- cheap: $22! (without memory)
[1] You could, of course, hook up an ipod hook up cable to the back of your stereo and run the wire through the dashboard in a sort of slick manner.
