    Steve:

Neither our family vehicle or the RV have a cassette player, so I'm afraid 
that option is out.

I guess that is what makes the FM transmitter possibility so compelling, 
although, as Russ and some others have noted, this approach can lead to some 
problems, especially in densely-populated metropolitan areas where much of 
the lower part of the FM spectrum is occupied.
