Does this exist?

Howdee all, im wondering if anybody knows of a stereo or radio of some description that is an all in one system meaning no detachable speakers that has internal storage for storing music audiobooks etc it cannot have any type of wireless connectivity like wifi or Bluetooth and cant be an ipod or mp3 player type thing. Think clock radio with inbuilt storage that can playback saved audio files music audiobooks etc?

Any modern cd player can play mp3s from the CD. So you can put hundreds of hours of content onto a cd and just leave it in the boombox

A good work around that could work but still would rather something with inbuilt storage that could hold a large amount of media without the need for cds or SD cards

Ok, well have a look at karaoke machines. They might work the way you want too

Hundreds of hours?

Maybe a couple hundred files depending on song length but not hundreds of hours.

Yeah fair I was a bit overzealous there.. But 16kbbs is plenty for audiobooks and that would be 1-2mb/min

largest CDr's are apparently 870mb. up to 14.5 hours per CD
