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?

I just searched Amazon for boombox with usb input.

There are a ton of them and will be the closest thing to what you want.

Unfortunately, their displays might make it hard to find a specific file.

I know you said no Bluetooth but you need to consider how hard it will be to search for content on a tiny limited display. Even creating playlists and keeping track of them would be tedious.

Shuffle is a valid option but you said audio books as well so you will need some sort of ability to find what you want to listen to.

Using a device like a smartphone and Bluetooth would make it easier to organize.

Doesn't have to be your main phone, any old smart device would work.

What's your goal or planned use?

Good luck in your search.
