See other ipod to car audio sites for more in-depth info on potential solutions for your specific situation.
Basically, the cassette tape adapter is the second lowest common method of getting audio from a headphone jack to a cassette deck equipped stereo that has no other inputs. The only thing worse is (most) FM transmitters.
Two great things about it, it's the cheapest solution (if you have a casette deck), and it's the most common form of input method on the road for older model cars (the cassette adapter dates back to the early days of the sony walkman!).
Otherwise, the sound quality is worse than more expensive solutions.
I've also noticed the GSM radio (aka: phone and EDGE data) noise is much worse on my friends car with the casette adapter (and the adapter tends to eject itself if there's a longer than normal period of silence between songs) than the USA Spec device I use that hooks up to the CD changer port of my car stereo.
