Is it possible to use an mp3 player to listen to AM Radio?

Nov 3, 2005 6:58AM PST

Hi, I'm looking for a mp3 player with around 128 - 256 megabytes of memory, and that can play AM radio. I've been looking for awhile and I'm not sure if it's possible to play AM on a mp3 player. If anyone knows if this is possible and a player that can, please let me know. Thanks ahead of time for any help.

I am unaware of any mp3 players with an AM radio tuner built in, nor of any accessories which could receive the AM band. Apparently the manufacturers don't feel that AM radio is desired.

OK, thanks for letting me know, I can understand that. If anyone ever finds a mp3 player with that can play AM radio then let me know. Thanks for responding.
