What's the best cassette adapter out there?

I have a 2002 vehicle and am not interested in spending the money to have an mp3 cable rigged up. I bought a cheap cassette adapter for my ipod and it works great but makes a clicking sound - and actually not the best sounds quality. Anyways, I am now willing to pay more for a good one after being pleased with the idea overall. I was about to buy this Monster adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCarPlay-Cassette-Adapter-iPhone/dp/B002DW92IE

... but the reviews are mixed. Anyone have a better suggestion?

I don't know which cassette adapter is the best, but if you do buy that one, save yourself $8.40 and get it from buy.com.

This one worked great for me, and it's only $5.93 shipped!

I got one from Amazon a couple weeks ago, my ancient one finally gave up.
It was a Sony one I purchased.

My suggestion is to purchase an adapter that transmits via FM radio, but that may just be my personal bias showing.

I've always had much better results with a cassette adapter than an FM transmitter. The adapter I bought for $1 in a dollar store gave me more consistent sound quality than several different expensive FM transmitters.

I've gone through many cassette adapters over the years and haven't seen much difference in quality. (Except for one I bought from monoprice.com which was awful.) (But I can't dis monoprice. They're usually fantastic.)

agreed, I always have problems with the FM transmitters, especially when i am traveling. I went for the Monster adapter from buy.com for $10. Hopefully its as good as any of them out there. I will post back how it compares to others i have tried. Thanks all!

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
