If you just want MP3 and an FM tuner I'd recommend the Zune =).

It really is a shame that no really good mp3 player integrates an AM radio though...]]>Nov 11th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/
But $200 is still too much money.


What I really want is for my $35 Sony AM/FM Walkman (SRF-M37V, the best pocket radio on the market for its price) to play MP3s.]]>Nov 11th 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/Nov 11th 2008 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/Nov 11th 2008 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/Nov 11th 2008 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/

By the way, I assume you don't know the symbol "?".

Try using it. It's very useful, as you'll see.]]>Nov 11th 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/Nov 11th 2008 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/
...WERE still on the air]]>Nov 11th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/
'make you wish Wolfman Jack was still on the air'

"...WERE still on the air"

Wrong.

~WAS~ still on the air. WERE is for the plural: make you wish the dead IDIOTS WERE still on the air."

Versus "make you wish the dead idiot was still on the air."

The exception being, WERE is used with the singular subject in a conjunctive statement, as in "If Wolfman Jack were broadcasting again."

Grammar's obviously not your area of expertise and you should not be correcting anyone other than yourself. I could direct you to several sources to verify my claim, but try using your fancy computer. You might learn something.

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjunctive#To_express_a_wish) - note the use of "were" with a singular object:

To express a wish

The past subjunctive is used after the verb to wish: I wish he were here or I wished he were there. This use of the subjunctive is sometimes known as the "volitional" subjunctive:

* Oh, I wish I were in the land of cotton.


Don't you wish you were literate?]]>Nov 14th 2008 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/
Frickin' finally AM radio, FM on a DAP is useless.... Why listen to the utter crap FM music, when you have YOUR music right away?

AM, on the other hand, there's news, sports, the talk stuff you don't have in .mp3

So, now just on to wait this appears on cheaper, better DAPs..]]>Nov 11th 2008 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/Nov 11th 2008 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/Nov 11th 2008 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/Nov 11th 2008 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/c-crane-witness-am-fm-dap-will-make-you-wish-wolfman-jack-was/They talk about the U.S. inflation

Yet he insists on clarifying that the headline is subject to SUBJUNCTIVE classification.

Like the subjunctive, IC should be put out of his misery as soon as possible. Uptight hack writer he be. GET A JOB at a newspaper if you are so.... "literate." I suppose he thinks himself superior to Mr. Maugham. (laughing self sick)

WAS! WAS! WAS! WAS! is correct because we are speaking of the deceased.

Don't you wish YOU literate? If you were dead, it would then be Don't you wish you WAS literate... PAST TENSE.... if I am speaking to you in a seance.

You're also gay.]]>Nov 27th 2008 4:01AM
