AM / FM / MP3 - walkman style

[LwnmwnMan2]

Anyone know of an MP3 player that also has both an FM tuner as well as AM?

Most in the retail stores around here are just FM tuners.

I mostly listen to talk radio while working, so I'm looking for an MP3 that also tunes AM.

I've tried to work with C. Crane on their "Witness", but I've tried 3 different times to make a purchase through them and each time my card comes back denied, even though I can use the card anywhere else.

Anyone else have any leads?

Thanks.

AM receivers are hard to find in the package you are looking for. I searched about a year ago, and C. Crane was the only one I found.

I have their CC radio and love it. Still waiting to pull the trigger on the MP3 yet.

I received my C. Crane AM/FM/MP3 2 days ago. I did take the $180 hit and bit the bullet.

Other than one of the first I-Pods that came out, this is my first MP3 player.

IMO, the unit is top notch.

It only has a monochrome screen, but that didn't bother me.

It has 10 presets for both AM and FM. It also has 2 GB of onboard storage for MP3s with a slot for a 16 GB card.

It also has an external speaker so if you're in the boat, you don't have to have headphones on to hear the Twins game.

The last feature I'll mention is it has a clock built in, so if you like shows like Bear Facts and Fishtales, or Garage Logic or any other show that has a specific time slot, you can set to record whatever station at whatever time. You don't have to download a pod-cast to listen to the show, it creates it for you.
