The MP3 player I use has built-in AM and FM recording - it has the receivers built-in. You can listen, or listen/record. The quality is dependant upon the radio waves (physical orientation, signal strength, the normal radio issues). If I want a real quality AM recording, I will set up my CC Crane "CC Radio Plus", with a TERK external antenna, and run the LINE OUT into my MP3 recorder (the "Pogo Radio Yourway LX", with a 1 Gig card, see my website for more information: http://users.adelphia.net/~rschoolf/mp3loader.htm ). I can turn on the timer built-in to the Pogo to start recording at the desired time. Also, I can record ANYTHING on the Pogo - Podcasts, songs from my albums, my cassettes, my kids, interviews, etc. In fact, I bought AND RETURNED a iPod Video, recently, preferring the user experience I get from the Pogo. Now, don't get me wrong, Apple is geared for certain people, and they have their iTunes interface, good or bad, but I wanted more control of my files, move 'em to a machine where I want 'em, delete content with having to use iTunes. Seriously, folks should re-think iPods at this stage. The iPod hardware is top-quality! Beautiful execution. But iTunes, the incompatible video formats, the inability of creating folders for content, and the lack of Windows direct-access drive support caused me to recoup my $325.00 from Apple!
