There is a MediaMarkt store downtown Stuttgart, they have them too. It's only a few meters from central station in the pedestrian area. Saturn is throughout Germany too, but I don't recall where exactly the stores in Stuttgart are..

If you're constantly moving, it's very unlikly. When I was young it was a big sport to operate illgal transmitters. There still were prison terms possible if you were cought (Leftover from long ago...) Today it's just expensive and the channels used by the police are a little below 87Mhz. Starting on 118 there are the airport markers. If your illegal device transmits at those frequencies you're in (big) trouble...

If somebody finds out, you're operating illegal transmitters, he or she may call the "Bundesnetzagentur" (Federal networks agency?) 0180/3232323 ;-) any time. It's more like "Hey, they're doing somting illegal here" :=). From that point it's all going the "official" way.

Cassette decks are pretty much extinct nowadays (as are audio cassettes). You'll most likely get a CD/DVD radio probably with mp3. And SD cards on the more expensive models. Why don't you burn a few CDs to be on the safe side.
