The tape adapter setup sucks so bad, I tried it with my Zen Micro and the sound was horrible. My personal choice would be just to get a MP3 cd deck, burn some cd's and do it that way. Not as nice has having 4gb+ of music, but hey, it works. I wont get an iPod because of their battery issues (or have they been fixed now) and it seems silly to choose from a few decks that hook into an iPod vs the 100's of models that pay MP3s. But, I cheated, bought a new vehicle which had a in-dash 6 disk MP3 cd changer and couldnt be happier
