Difference between car kit and cassette adapter?

[Braves]

I just bought a riovolt sp100 and there's a rebate with it for the free Rio Car Stereo Adapter displayed here

I've never owned a car kit or anything like that so I'm just wondering how exactly does this thing work in my car? Do I just plug it into the riovolt and insert the tape into the cassette deck and play? Also, is there a limit on the time of play or is that dependent on the battery of the riovolt. Finally, someone told me that a car kit is just the cassette adapter and a cigar adapter... what's a cigar adapter and what does that do?

cigarette adapter plugs into the cigarette lighter plug and provides the player with power.

oh, kind of like an AC Adaptor? Can I get a cigar adaptor from my local radioshack or something

The cassette adapter doesnt have actual tape like a real cassette tape, so there is no limit on time or anything of that nature. The cassette adapter has a headphone jack on one end that plugs into the line out of the Rio Volt, and then the cassette just goes into your car stereo and you should magically get the sound from your CD/MP3 player playing on your car stereo.

There's a knob in your dash that may or may not have a picture of a cigarette on it...Take that out a stick the plug in there
