Smile Creative uses for your tape deck!

I thought this might be a fun thread:

What are some creative uses for the tape deck in your 3GS?

Some thoughts:
  • Ipod holder
  • business card storage
  • pen/pencil holder

I use it to play all of my old mix tapes from my DJ days ( house music). Those tapes arent as lame as they seem. Most of the girls I have dated in my life have recieved mix tapes. They love it, especially when it done old school one track at a time. analog still has some uses. My turntables sound cleaner than any CD could possibly sound. Highest highs and the lowest lows.

I used it to play some Sinatra tapes when I took some old folks to a reunion recently. It sounded better then I expected.

It's really not a big deal to me.
You can play some old tapes,play a audio book or just don't use it.
I do like the business card idea,though.

I show it off when I am bragging to friends about how high tech my car is ...

Touch screen monitor, watch a movie in surround sound while driving, heated seats, and a nice tape player...
