MP3 player with AM tuner?
 
Do they exist?

I'm looking for an MP3 player to listen to podcasts (so 512MB should work) and AM radio (sports talk and NPR).

I have not used it myself but here is one:

Thanks, but it's waaay out of my projected budget. You can find decent SanDisk MP3 1gb MP3 players for less than $50 nowadays, but they only include the FM tuner. :(

These sell for as low as $100 on Ebay.

Today woot.com is selling refurbed Sandisk 512k MP3 with an excellent FM tuner for about $23. I bought the 256k version mainly for the FM tuner and capacity for a few MP3s. I have a separate AM/FM/SW but the AM often comes in loaded with too much static.

The problem is AM is much more susceptible to interference from the electronics, so it's much more difficult (= expensive) to design. You probably won't find one...

The MPIO FL350 is not only small but has a FM tuner built in....... It is a tad expensive though.
