I could be wrong, but I used an adapter for years, and I think your deck just may be shot.<BR/><BR/>You could try an adapter that works through the radio rather than the cassette deck. You run the risk of interference from other stations, but if your deck is shot, it may be an option.<BR/><BR/>You've also got Sirius or XM. We have Sirius, and again, we get interference when we travel (usually only around big cities). It's not all it's cracked up to be (neither of the choices are) but when you have to travel, it beats shuffling cd's (and I'm one of the few people on the planet without an ipod or similar device).<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I got an inexpensive single disc CD player from Circuit City when the one that came with the KIA broke. It cost me right around $100, with extended warranty. It also plays MP3 discs which is a bonus, as you can cram tons of songs on those.<BR/><BR/>I know money is tight for most people these days (us included) but I feel your "pain" in that regard - I'd go absolutely nuts without my music.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Funky-Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854698767815327415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-57610190412993362902008-06-15T10:38:00.000-05:002008-06-15T10:38:00.000-05:00Can't go into too much detail on the job hunting a...Can't go into too much detail on the job hunting and those changes, but it is a good chunk of my life and my being right now. Tough to avoid, and also tough to be completely honest about to the world until something definite happens.<BR/><BR/>And there is some of that "How are we going to feed ourselves" thing happening, but I think we'll get through it.Leigh C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13654596932726420097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-72333552046466815542008-06-15T10:19:00.000-05:002008-06-15T10:19:00.000-05:00I've been treating the summer of my discontent wit...I've been treating the summer of <I>my</I> discontent with premium cable. Since being back in Atlanta, I've watched John Adams & Recount (more intense when taken together) on HBO. Now, I've added Season 3 of Weeds (having seen 1 & 2 on download & dvd) and seasons 1 & 2 of Dexter. Heh heh. <BR/><BR/>Gonna throw some baseball into the mix. Summer league coaches meeting is tonight. Time to play with the boys. It's been way too long.<BR/><BR/>Not sure what all the job stuff is about wit y'all. Hope everything's okay. That <I>how are we going to feed ourselves</I> stuff is scary. I know.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, missin' all y'all. See ya on the tweeter tubes. <BR/><BR/>Try to stay dry today. :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-51326330155182485982008-06-13T22:59:00.000-05:002008-06-13T22:59:00.000-05:00I just started listening to early Big Star... was ...I just started listening to early Big Star... was before my prime time, so I'm working backwards. <BR/><BR/><BR/>re Bill Hicks- talk to racymind about him. She sort of knew him and saw him perform live dozens of times back in the day. <BR/><BR/>As for me, I consider him a prophet. I'm only half joking when I say I'm a Hicksafarian. <BR/> <BR/>re car music=do you have an iPod? Because you can use an FM adaptor and listen to music in your car that way. That's what I do. <BR/><BR/>ipods really are pretty amazing for the music lover. So we don't have jet packs yet... I'm okay with being able to carry around my huge music library in my shirt pocket. <BR/><BR/>just a suggestion from one music obsessive to another. <BR/><BR/>peaceB Northcuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013673846217501512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-40031894649955161712008-06-12T22:41:00.000-05:002008-06-12T22:41:00.000-05:00Here you go Leigh.
