mp3 player with medium wave radio?

cmgames

I am looking for a decent mp3 player with the capability to listen to medium wave as I frequently listen to talksport. Can anyone recommend any to me?

TalkSh*te? You're better off without.

As far as I know, there are no MW/mp3s but you could get a portable DAB/mp3 and hear the bigotry, bile and general ignorance in crystal clear digital!

Quite hard to find, but here you go...

Portable DAB radios tend to be bulky, expensive, very heavy on batteries, and give poor reception when on the move - I wouldn't recommend it.

Have you thought about getting a cheap portable FM/MW radio (this Sony is less than a tenner, and absolutely tiny) and a separate mp3 player (like a 4GB Sansa Clip for about £35)? Yes, it's two devices to carry around, but even put together they will still be smaller, lighter and cheaper than a portable DAB/MP3 player. You could always sellotape them back to back if you want.

I've been using a Philips DA1102 for two or three years having picked it up for £25 from Argos; it's a great wee machine; about the size of a fag packet. DAB and 1GB mp3.

The odd new-old-stock one seems to go through eBay for about £30 these days.

I use a Cowon D2+, which combines a DAB/FM radio with a 8 Gbyte MP3. It has a rechargeable battery and I think the battery life is good.

I bought it about a year ago for £116, but it was discontinued shortly after I bought it. I'm not aware of any MP3 players with DAB currently available.

what is the reason why it seems like they are discontinuing dab + mp3 together? I thought dab is supposed to be alot clearer than the standard fm radio you usually get with mp3 players.
