MP3 player with AM radio

by oldieguy - 12/10/08 9:13 PM

Are there any you know of? Why AM you might ask. I enjoy talk radio and it is almost exclusive to AM. It would serve a dual purpose for me as i seldom listen to FM. I would rather listen to MP3s than FM when digging my tunes. If something is on the MP3 player and i don't like it then i know who is to blame.

It was reviewed in late October of this year, so hopefully you'll be able to find this. Actually, you should be able to order it online. See link below.

A couple of cons to this product, however:

It is expensive for the amount of onboard memory (2GB) it has, but it does have an SD card expansion slot.
While fairly thin and pocketable, it is rather large for the lack of memory and features. I suspect that it has to be somewhat large to house the antenna for AM.

But, beggars can't be choosers. Or maybe. I wouldn't pay $229 for it.

I would rather just buy a cheap pocket am/fm radio.

And then you can still get a very small mp3 player with plenty of memory (such as a SanDisk Sansa Clip) - together for half the price of a C. Crane Witness.
