I have an old music player of some kind, it has a small hard drive in it. I forget the capacity. The battery is shot but it will run if plugged in, was still making tunes last I tried it a coupla years ago. I should check it again. It has a FM tuner too. I have always wondered why iPods and iFons don’t have tuners.
