MAKE subscriber Justin fused the convenience of digital music with the feel and playback functionality of a cassette -

It is a cassette tape adapter and a micro usb port hooked up to a tiny mp3 player that I picked up at target. Its a simple build and only took an evening. Its an on going project I started a while back.

Neat idea! More pics plus earlier versions of the project can be found on Justin's blog. Hmmm ... maybe the next incarnation could have FF/REW capabilities triggered by turning the spools?

I had already seen a mp3 player inside a cassette, it had a jack-out. Combining it with a tape adapter seems perfect for listening in cars with old receivers. Great job!
