I haven't crossed over into the MP3 generation yet (I bought my first digital camera only 2 weeks ago for my vacation). However, my '03 Civic did not have a tape deck, although my wife's 03 CRV did; I always kept telling myself that I had to find time to use my PC to convert all my tapes to CD. Needless to say I never found the time.

We had some difficulty with our '05 HCH delivery, and the dealer was more than happy to throw in a Civic tape deck as part of the deal. Now I can delay transitioning my tape collection. But when I do transition to MP3, I'll know what to do now. Thanks, all, for the information.
