The pictures have nothing to do with the content!!
My father in law is 70 and has just bought a new car, he loves old jazz but cannot play his tapes any more as it only has a cd player, can you buy any sort of attchment for tapes? He only listens to them in the car as my mother in law cannot listen to jazz!

You would have to go to a car audio place and switchout the standard deck with a Cassette/CD player combo. That would be my best advice.

If you have a cassette player with the proper headphone jack, you should probably be able to buy an FM transmitter. These are usually used by people wanting to play music off their ipod in a car, but I see no reason why this wouldn’t work for a cassette player.
An FM transmitter sends out a weak FM signal, which your car can pick up on the radio. You usually can choose between several FM frequencies to use, so that whichever one you use doesn’t interfere with your favorite stations.
Good Luck!

Radio Shack sells a RF transmitter that plugs into the headphone jack of a walkman. I bought on for my wife when she was a cop. (Her patrol unit didn’t have CD or Tape) It’ll cost around 10 bucks and works great. It runs off 2 AAA batteries and just to test the range on it, I walked about 50 feet from the car with the walkman before it started getting any static in the reception.

you can use FM frequency to play cassettes in your player… but i would suggest to go in for a double din head… it plays both… CD’s and cassettes…

A lot of newer cars have an Aux input that you can plug an iPod, or in this case, a cassette Walkman into. Either the Aux will be right in the front of the deck (it will be a standard size headphone jack 3.5mm (?)) or you may have to buy an Aux input adapter for your specific vehicle.
Some other options you have:
It may be possible to get a AM/FM/CD/Cassette head unit swapped in from the dealership, but this option would probably be expensive.
You could always get an aftermarket unit with a cassette player built in. Yes, they still manufacture them. Check Crutchfield if you’re thinking of going that route.

Rip his casette tapes to a computer and burn to CD. (Very time consuming, will require extra computer hardware and software…)
