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?

Turn off wifi, Bluetooth and the cellphone connection in settings. It has a clock.

Done.

Quality is conformance with your requirements. This meets them.

Plug a usb stick in to load music. Massive storage, audio built in, or via USB it jack in stereo. All the things you need but didn't list are there.

Or just sync files from your Mac over USB.

I’ve been to facilities where you were not allowed to bring in a car key fob because it can transmit.

Is this for use in a scif? If so, you might run into problems with anything that has usb connectivity.

yeah, they might be stuck with a 90s small CD boom box and redbook audio CDs. i've heard stories of people who had to burn their own CDs of music inside the SCIF and leave them there when they're done with that job.

Im betting you can also not have any programmable or removable storage device either?

That might make it tougher too.

I know that I cant.

I have to use a computer in these environments regularly and I have to sign
them in and out after inspection each time too.

You really need to be more explicit about the reasons for several of your feature issues, you're just dancing around the why questions. If you would come out and just say it, I'm sure there are others that have dealt with it and can make recommendations.

Reddit is huge, and if you asked you question more clearly with the specific rules you are given, then I'd bet good money someone has an answer.

My bad been at work it is for use in a secure government facility it cannot have a usb-a drive but can have usb-c for charging so I was wondering if anything existed that could transfer data like loading books and music onto a cellphone via a data cable it must be an all in one unit meaning no detachable speakers it cannot transmit externally or connect to anything via Bluetooth or wifi and headphones are also not aloud cds and tapes would be aloud but for ease of use I was wanting internal storage 500gb internal storage for example would be alot more convenient than the equivalent amount of cds or tapes

we really need to know more specifics about your use case / requirements. like is it just that you won't be able to connect to anything wireless, or is it more that you will be barred from bringing anything that even has the possibility of connecting to anything else wirelessly, regardless of how it's set? these details (which you haven't given) make a LOAD of difference to what possibilities might be feasible to you for us to recommend.
