I tried using an MP3 player with a cassette adapter in the stock Bose Gold AM/FM/Cassette/CD player this morning. It played, but it sounded muffled. I noticed that this cassette player has Dolby B Noise Reduction which would explain the muffled sound (kinda like a blanket over each speaker when playing a source that was not encoded with Dolby). Unfortunately I don't see a way to turn off the Dolby NR. I read through the manual and there is not any mention of Dobly NR at all.
Should I get one of those FM transmitters from Arkon?

I'm not sure which is worse:
muffled sound through cassette or piping the sound through FM.
I'm about to drive 8+ hours to Bowling Green this weekend and I need lots of good tunes for the trip!
Thanks,
Jim
