Um, it's not really for tapes. It plugs into the back of the head unit
where the CD changer would normally plug in. It changed the CD changer
control to an AUX input. I play my iPod through it. I suppose you could play
tapes through it (or minidisc or portable CD player, or...) but that'd be a
slightly over engineered solution.

I dont' recall any that do CF, but I think Sony has one that will take a
Magic Gate memory stick. If you are looking for no skips and don't want to
try an external unit like an iPod try the Kenwood Music Keg. It docks to
your home computer with USB and the unit for the car interfaces like a CD
chager would. The removable part is nothing more than a 2.5" laptop hard
drive enclosed in a case. Notebook HDs are rated for a certain amount of
shock when transporting, unlike more fragile desktop 3.5" drives that
usually sit immobile all the time.

You will need a Kenwood head unit, then the Keg adds on to that. Info is
here:
http://www.kenwoodusa.com/excelon/excelonKeg.jsp


Also if you do like the idea of an iPod but just want something that's
integrated a little better, Alpine is coming out with an interface for the
iPod that allows it's control via an Alpine head unit. It also plugs in to
the CD changer socket of the head unit. Just plug it in and throw the iPod
in the glove box and it gets charged too.

I do the same thing, with a much cheaper RCA Lyra. $50 including the
player got it done, and it plays about 2 1/2 hours of great audio. It
uses the format one size smaller than compact flash, though-the
security card format or whatever that cameras use.
