Acrobat Pro will let you do that, but I don't know how much it costs for a single user.

eta: Amazon lists it for $390 [link]

Okay, so according to iLounge:

Cassette tape adapters are today the second-best sounding way to connect an iPod to a car...FM transmitters are almost universally guaranteed to have a higher noise to signal ratio than good cassette adapters, but they may be the only option for people whose cars do not have tape players.

When I went browsing at Best Buy, the sales guy mocked me for considering a tape adapter. He said it was fine "fifteen years ago." So I didn't get very far, since I ended up wanting to shove a Nano up his ass.

I know people have talked in here about the FM transmitters and talked about static and sound quality. Does anyone have an iPod-car solution they adore? We're leaning toward the FM one because we'd love to be able to transmit to radios in the house, so it would have to be one that didn't have a cigarette-lighter-adapter thing permanently attached.

I tried two different FM adapters and never found a frequency that worked in my car. Regardless of that, the sound quality was going to be lower than cassette, even if the tech is cooler.

Better quality than a tape adapter is going to be one of those direct-to-console inputs -- Rio got one, I think, and so did a co-worker. He loves his. I can google if you want -- that solution requires actual installation.

I hate the FM transmitters. The sound quality is ridiculously poor in my area. I use the Monster casette adapter. That Best Buy dude can bite me.

Agreed. Cassette adapters are better if you can do them, and built-in solutions are best.

Ooooh, timely discussion. I was thinking the FM transmitters sounded like a good idea, but no, eh?

Other options would be????

That's one of my concerns too -- the airwaves around here are pretty crowded.

At this point, I think anything requiring installation is out.

That Best Buy dude can bite me.

Believe me, I'm tempted to go back there, find him, and tell him how much he can bite me. And you.

Maidengurl, this is iLounge's rundown of tape adapters, with a summary of what they don't like about FM transmitters.

The cassette adapters are also substantially cheaper.

Totally go with cassette. There's one out there that lets you control some of the iPod functions with the deck controls (FF, RW, I think). I need to work out how to google that, if you want me to check.

And here is their summary of FM transmitters, which I haven't read yet:
