3.0 out of 5 stars Definately Enjoying this..., December 2, 2003

By	Richard Hoffman "rickytoons" (Petaluma, Ca. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was almost turned away when I read the first review, but after reading the second one, I decided to go for it. When I first got it, I admit it did sound fuzzy, distorted. But I changed the EAX setting on my Jukebox from the Custom EQ setting I like for my headphones, to the Environment/Auditorium setting and it sounds great. I have over 2000 songs in my Nomad Jukebox 3, and it's like having my entire CD catalog in my car. I guess it helps to play with these things before you go running for the Return slip.

5.0 out of 5 stars works good using headphone jack, December 19, 2003

By	"jimkohout" (Glen Ellyn, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Using the standard cassette player on a 1996 Cavalier...

Plugging the cassette into the LINE OUT jack of the Jukebox causes very DISTORTED audio.
Plugging the cassette into the HEADPHONE jack of the Jukebox produces GOOD audio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for any digital music source!, November 8, 2002

By	MartyHansen (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

With my Jukebox 3, I loved having my own custom playlists -- and my entire music collection -- available to me everywhere I went. It was consequently just a matter of time -- before I wanted to play them all in my car.

This Jukebox 3 Car Kit was the perfect solution. It consists of a faux cassette tape -- which goes into my car's stereo -- that connects via a thin wire and a headphone jack to my Jukebox's 3 audio output.

The aural quality is excellent. The music is clear and expansive, and far superior to the sound I get from my car's FM radio. The EAX (music equalizer) settings on the Jukebox 3 are also perfect for tailoring the music quality (highs, lows, stereo separation, reverb, etc.) precisely to my driving conditions -- or my car's interior acoustics.

And, best of all -- there's no CD's to change, no commercials to endure -- and no reason to listen to songs I really don't want to hear (which is key)!

The cassette adapter will also play any digital music source that outputs through a standard headphone plug, such as other MP3's, CD players, or laptop computers. And the Car Kit comes with a 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter (for the Jukebox 3) -- handy in case you ever begin to run out of juice.

Someday, an (interchangeable) hard drive-based digital music system will be built into every car. For now, the Jukebox 3 Car Kit allows me to enjoy the future's music system -- today! I highly recommend it.
