If the car was old enough you could plug a cassette adapter into an 8 track adapter.
ikiddDear god, I had one of these. I was driving a 74 Ford pickup with an 8-track and it was the only way to play my music through the single speaker in the dash. High fidelity.
Plug… plug it into a zune
I actually had a Zune. They were pretty nice as far as MP3 players go.
Heck, I still use my old Zune. Replaced the battery, hard drive, and screen a couple of years ago and the thing is a beast.
Yeah, they were actually pretty ahead of their time. It was before people had become accustomed to music subscriptions, so that scared a lot of people away. But the fact that it would just automatically sync with your library, and you could download whatever songs you wanted for offline play in the car… It was groundbreaking at the time. Plus it had a built-in FM receiver, so you could listen to the radio while on the go too.

My best friend in high school had a stereo with an 8-track recorder.
Good god. That’s three or more generations of electronics just dragged kicking-and-screaming into the 21st century. I love it.
All that’s left to do is send the receiver output to a PC or RPi, and serve it as a self-hosted streaming service.
