Skips from side A to side B in my Infiniti Bose stereo. Cheap construction. Monster adapter was bad, but this is even worse. Returning mine immediately.

It worked ok for a month or so, then began skipping like crazy from A to B sides and grinding to the point that it's louder than your ipod. It's extremely frustrating.

If you listen at super high volumes this might work ok, but I'll be buying a different brand next time.

I assumed all tape adapters were comparable. This one worked fine for 1 week. Then it sporadically ejected itself from the tap deck. A few days later it broke completely and is now jammed in my tape deck. The tape deck on my car stereo is now broken as is the Macally Podtape. I would buy another a different brand of adapter, but I no longer have a tape deck that works in my car. My worst purchase on Amazon to date.

This product does not work in all car cassette players. When played it gives you 1 sec of ipod music and then skips to what it thinks is the next track all the way through the cassette until it ejects itself. Don't buy this it is a big waste of money.

Rollers were noisy, almost louder than the music. Eventually the rollers must have jammed because the tape player would reverse in the middle of a song.

I bought this for my 98 Corolla and it worked great for over a year. Now it plays a track for a few seconds then skips forward and backwards tracks. It's quite strange, actually.

All in all, I would not recommend this product.

I purchased this tape with hopes of playing all my music from my ipod in my car. Sure, I did that. For 2 weeks it was good. It still is, but the quality gets crappy on its own.

Price is right and it sounds great. I had a dollar store one before, but for some reason my tape deck always tried to reverse the direction of playback and then wouldn't work at all. Doesn't happen with this one. Still best to keep iPod volume on medium to middle high for best sound quality. If it's on high, the sound comes through with a lot of static.

Product was ok, but be sure to check your cassette deck play direction first. I purchased this for an older vehicle, and the cassette deck only plays in one direction, so the product was essentially useless, as it stops when the first side is complete. Would have probably worked out great if that was not an issue.

After searching for a way to listen to my iPod in my car without installing expensive equipment, I found this on Amazon. For the price, this is the best thing I've found. Fortunately my old car has a cassette player in it, so I just pop this in, plug the other end to my iPod or Nano, and I'm all set for those long drives. I can't believe I took so long to find and buy this!
