A tape deck should be a separate option in the TL. And, it should really detract from the interior as a penalty to the morons who want it.

I've never used the cassette deck in my CL-S. However, I can see how it would be useful for those that listen to books on tape, or use a cassette adapter for an MP3 player, both of which I have done in the past. I can't see why people complain about Acura including a cassette player. If they left it out, I suspect there would be even more people complaining about it not being included.

I do wish they had included a preamp level AUX input and/or the capability to play MP3 from CD-R or DVD+R discs though.

On the other hand, you can now purchase entire albums (guess which generation I'm from) as downloadable 5.1 Windows Media Audio files. Sadly, WMP9 seems incapable of playing these through an SPDIF output as it can DVDs (that is, they'll only plan with analog 5.1 connections).

I'd be curious if one could burn these files, though, to DVD media to create DVD-As.

Can you imagine? $400 for a cassette player? What a scam. No wonder there's such an aftermarket.

Ya but you'd be surprised how many people buy CD Player, and pay that price, just so its stock, and nothing aftermarket...

Get the Griffin iTrip. It broadcasts the iPod's output on an FM frequency, and it works great. They have a large range of frequencies to choose from as well, so that no matter what town your in, you should be able to find a clean frequency to lock onto with the iTrip. It's about $35.00

Then you get an iPod docking station and mount it in the car, and you're ready to go.

In this price range, you have a lot more "audiophiles" than Napster/Kazaa/Morpheus drop jockies. So I think Acura (financially,) made a good decision to go for the DTS and DVD-A rather than MP3. $0.02
