Yes, the Samsung 256MB MP3 player I have (it's damn small, another reason I kept it for 6 years) has an FM tuner. I prefer the look/feel/UI of the iPods, though.

Yep - I hated the need for an 'addon' so something as basic as FM radio can be used on an iPod.

awepittance Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) crazy apple takes so fucking long to implement standard features into the ipod, too bad it doesnt have an am tuner. i dont listen to any FM radio, there is literally nothing on FM out here worth listening to. and watch 2 years later apple will be proud to announce that you can TIVO the fm radio to an mp3 ! oh wait seacrane radio has a tape cassette version of this concept made 20 years ago Edited September 10, 2009 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48810-finally-a-reason-for-me-to-buy-an-ipod/#findComment-1119303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
