The Philips USA PH-62050 CD/MP3/MD-To-Cassette Converter lets you play CD, MP3 or MD players in your car’s cassette deck via a direct plug into your portable audio player.

This adapter works fine with my mp3 player, at top volume there’s slight background noise that can be taken care of with noise reduction if your car stereo has it. Sound quality is excellent and very consistent. It’s much better and less expensive than a radio transmitter. I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase.

Inexpensive solution for MP3 playing in older car.
I’ve got a ‘96 Jeep with a cassette deck, probably one of the last years that cars came with the factory with those, and now I feel priveleged that I don’t have to buy one of…

I have two of these devices. The sony that I have cost $20 and clicks when I play it in my one car. In my other car, it always sounds like the dolby sound filtering is on. This one works and sounds better and was half the cost.

I got the Philips Cassette Converter to run my iPod Shuffle in my ‘96 Saab 900 with factory equiped stereo and it works beautifully. Yes, it is true that the signal is not very strong, so you have to turn the volume up a bit, but even the little Shuffle can compensate for it and by no means do you need to fear forgetting to turn the volume down when you switch to Radio or CD. The sound quality is as good as the iPod delivers and you have no disturbing background noise. I also had no problems that the deck would eject the tape. I can recommend this product and it’s good value for money (I didn’t try similar one)

Make sure you have “This Side Up”
Good value and good option for my 2003 VW Jetta that has a tape deck and also a CD player. Obviously not as convenient as a direct connect but I use this more than my wireless…

Great adapter for the price
This is a great cheap adapter for those of us who don’t have money flowing out of our pockets. It works pretty well for the price and I haven’t had any problems with it so far.

Works well
I needed to replace my car tape adapter and this one works well. Unlike my first one, this model has a earphone adapter at a 90-degree angle.

Worked great…for awhile.
When I bought this product, I loved it. Sounded great, no problems, right? After a few months having the tape converter in my car, the sound from the tape started to get lower,…

Avoid if you have auto reverse (or do this modification)
If it keeps auto reversing, open it up and take out the rubber brake and the smallest gear. If the sound is really low and lots of hissing, swtitch the tape direction or flip the…

Muffled Highs, Growling Lows
While the Philips PH-6250 is a vast improvement over the same gear from Monster (which is unusably bad), I’m still not happy with the clipped muffled highs and rumbling bass…

Waste of money – constantly reverses directions
I have had a tape adapter for my iPod since way back when they used to cost $5 and WORK. Finally the wires frayed after 5 years so I had to buy a new one and was horrified to see…
