Ooh that looks good. Might buy one "for my wife" as well. It would only be the seventh or eighth Roberts radio in the house.

To go back to the original question, I've never understood why no one made a portable MP3 player that had no storage of its own but would accept any flash drive. Lexar showed it was possible a while ago but i think their device only worked with their own "jumpdrives".

You can get these things that plugin to the lighter socket in a car that do more or less the same thing for no money at all and they come with an FM transmitter.

So why not the same technology but with a battery compartment and a headphone jack?
