What kind of tapes are you listening to that make you seemingly lose control of your faculties? :P

Also i don't want a plethora of USB leads floating round the car just to be able to listen to something and i daresay plenty of others feel the same, or at least similar. It's bad enough we're going to be forced to either change the head units for DAB compatible units or add a DAB adaptor with an FM transmitter built in thanks to the imminent change to DAB from analogue.
I get it, I've invested fairly substantially in Hi-Fi and I enjoy the act of picking a record, inspecting it for cleanliness and lowering a needle into the grooves and listening to a pop/crackle free album (because I keep a clean collection) but, I've also used Spotify from near enough it's inception and it provides me with all my old-timey music I like to listen to. In fact, there stuff on music streaming services that you would never hear otherwise, simply because newly found or remastered recordings don't often get issued on tape. I can be listening to a song in my house, get into my 27 year old car, turn the stereo on and continue listening while I drive. Simples. Oh and all completely lead free.

For what the OP is asking for though, THIS is the adapter I think they need. And at under a fiver, it's worth a punt anyway.
