Why do none of these players have no AM tuner love? There's still plenty of radio I listen to on AM, all be it it's pretty much all talk radio. But I'd still use the AM tuner if they included them in it. I wish my zen vision:m player had that. It does everything else pretty good.
One reason could be that AM is so susceptible to the kind of noise these digital devices themselves create.
It's not impossible, mind you. It would just add bulk and complexity that the manufacturers probably feel isn't justified for various reasons.
Decent portable AM actually warrants an analog tuning transistor radio if you want to get more serious. Of course that super-hip portable crystal set is gonna trump THAT, but that's for the purist

They can still be found.
