Mp3 player jack

If you want the "cool" factor of having it built in, there's no argument on that side.
Just my humble opinion, of course

Wierd, as my adapter has lasted me easily 5 years plus.

I'm not familiar with the Sansa player, but I would look for 2 things:
1) the headphone jack volume.....have you tried to turn up the volume of your player so you don't have to crank the volume on your stereo system ?
2) does that player come with any tonal/equalizer modes to address the low bass issue ? What does the bass sound like with regular CD's ?
Since you are outputting the signal from the headphone jack, if that output sounds thin or weak, it's going to sound the same thru your cassette adapter. You might also want to run a cassette cleaner on your deck to be sure that the heads are not dirty.

Will try the cleaner. I found out it was a faulty adapter, now it sounds like the cd's except for a scratchy noise. I think its coming from the adapter, but will try cleaning the head first since i never used it since I bought my car used
