Are FM receivers (in MP3 players) allowed on flights?

Well the title says it. I'm having a little doubts. My current MP3 player is only a 64 MB one, and that's a little on the low side for an 8 hour flight.

It seems that the new players almost all have FM receivers built in. But the airlines always make a big deal out of telling you that anything operationg with an antenna is prohibited. But is that only for transmitters or does it also include receivers?

If an FM receiver is prohibited as well, that seriously limits my options as far as getting a new unit goes.

Anybody have a take on this?
