> Do MP3 players with EXCELLENT FM reception exsist?
>

Neil,

I've been very satisfied with an iRiver mp3 player for several years now
(mine's an IFP 899). FM reception is very good. Probably worth 20 bucks on a
good day on ebay.

Fortunately I resisted the temptation to install a CD player way back when,
so I can run a tape adapter which supplies my aux input to the ash tray,
where the mp3 player normally lives (close the ash tray lid and it's out of
sight).

While camping, a Logitech portable speaker gives good sound for about 40
hours off AA batteries (rechargeable).

A low cost solution that avoids the 2and battery entirely.
