Is there such a thing as a MP3 player that uses an AA battery, has a built
in FM transmitter, and a USB interface for downloading files from the PC?


I already have a great .5W plug in FM transmitter to listen to stuff off
my PC at home, but it would be nice to playback files on my little Degen
DE1107 radio while at work. I've looked around and it's almost impossible
just to find an MP3 player that still uses regular batteries. It would be
fantastic if there was a C. Crane type FM transmitter with a built in USB
MP3 player that wouldn't break the bank.

Don't know about one with a built-in modulator, but there are tons of little
plug-in modulators for the iPod and clones. I believe they run off the
player's internal battery, so you wouldn't have to change batteries
constantly.

Also, if you have a player already, there are a number of nice little
modulators you can buy that run off of either 1 or 2 AAA batteries and sound
quite good. I have one that uses a single AAA battery, and has all 200
channels and excellent sound with fairly good range (about 20-40' indoors).
