Car cassette player! Help!
so my cassette player in my car takes the tape in and then the tape will stay in their for a little bit and then it starts making noises. After that, it changes to the radio station and then the tape would pop back out.. Can someone tell me how can I fix this problem.. I tried different tapes and i realized that it isn't the tapes problem.. BTW i'm using the monster icarplay cassette tape.

It has been almost 2 decades since I last worked on a tape deck, but the most common point of failure was stretching or breakage of one of the rubber belts. These belts look similar to black rubber bands, but are somewhat less "stretchy".
There are optical sensors within the tape deck that determine if the tape is moving. If the tape is not moving due to belt slippage/breakage the tape will be rejected.
If you feel like you have the patience to open up your player, you could quickly determine if this is the problem, and it should be fairly easy to find a universal replacement belt. I have actually used rubber bands for a short term repair.

If your vehicle doesn't have an AUX jack somewhere already, it is probably because your stereo does not have an AUX input.
If you feel comfortable removing the stereo from your dash to look for an AUX input, then it is only a couple of minutes more work to remove the cover from the stereo and examine the belts.
If you want an inexpensive fix, you might consider the purchase of an FM transmitter than can plug into the earphone jack of any device. You can listen to the output by tuning into the proper frequency on your FM radio. There are also similar devices that send the output as a BlueTooth signal if your existing stereo has that capability.
