DAB + MP3 player in one??

Hi All,

Just wondering what would be a good DAB Radio with MP3 playback capability as well.

Also, how portable would these be?

Am a total novice in the DAB area so all help is most welcome and very appreciated.

Thanks
Niraj

Thanks a lot for that.

Will have a good look at it now.

Do let me know if you are aware of any others.

Thanks

Re: DAB + MP3 player in one??

Is there a full size DAB receiver (i.e. a HiFi seperate) that has a USB input?

These are everywhere on micro systems, but I can find no way of adding mp3 capability to my hifi system...as most of my music is stored on my PC/mp3 player this is becoming almost essential :-)

cheers
Matt

Re: DAB + MP3 player in one??

IMHO you would be better looking at a dedicated HiFi 'MP3' player (squeezebox, philips streamium, sonos, roku etc. see the MP3 forum for more)
And a DAB tuner if there is something on there you can't get with local FM.

But none of these do what I want. Sure they play files wirelessly from a PC, which may be useful in the future, but right now what i want is what a Micro system offers - the ability to just plug my mp3 player in and have those available to play...

Or alternatively, just get a 3.5mm - 2xPhono Plug cable and connect your MP3 player to the AUX input on your hifi/amp.

Quiddic, Happyhomer,

Wrong end of the stick. I don't want to play my mp3 player through my hifi. I want the tracks on my mp3 player available for my hifi to play :-)
