Why always an FM radio??? I bought an mp3 player [as I'm sure many have] because I've given up on the pap that passes for music on mass radio. I'd rather have AM so I can pick up a little bit of news or talk radio action now and then...

Without sounding too much like an astroturfer, I'm stoked! I always try to record my own radio broadcasts, but I've always had various troubles with doing so-- recorders crapping out, having to switch CDRs mid-show, lots of ripping/converting... or the old days, where I was going to tape, haha!
This thing sounds like just the ticket. I called them up, sounds like it records in 160/128/96 mp3, depending on your setting.

@#1: i've always had the same complaint, but it's an issue that will continue as long as things keep getting smaller... my understanding is that AM frequencies require larger antennas for receiving. companies aren't willing to compromise the size of their gadgets for that function.
does someone sell a USB AM antenna?

External speaker? In the words of Gomez Addams:
No! No! No! No!
There's already too many hood rats that force everybody to listen to they're thug-R&B on the train through a painfully tinny cellphone speaker, I won't endorse any gadget monetarily that promotes this behavior. I'm in the market for a new mp3 player too.
