Tuning in


After a week that had some forum drama and odd triggering post it was really more necessary to put grown up business of that disgrace, Donald J Trump, to one side and settle for some imagination based play rather than the purely role playing sort to reset somewhat.

One thing I do miss from modern portable devices is the built in FM Radio.

Now FM is hardly new, did look in the 2010's to be at risk of extinction between DAB and Internet based radio offering more choices even if in absolute terms the quality isn't always as good although the quality of what is sent out isn't what it was beyond stations such as BBC Radio 3.

You don't find Dab tuners in them probably with that not being popular in the Far East or Asia.


This one, while a bit awkward in the menu department and lacking any means of turning on gapless playback does have a okay but could be more sensitive FM radio with a virtual tuning dial you use the << and >> buttons to tune and up to six presets.

The finish is surprisingly good for something that sells for around £50 though and so is handy where a more expensive player might get lost or perhaps for a younger use who doesn't appreciate having to use a Android based user interface to play something.

I just put some compilations on a spare sd card - and shockingly it will take up to 256gb ones - as a spare take anywhere device.
