To enable me to have music while I diy (so this is slightly relevant to
this group!) I'd like to have a portable radio/CD player - ie one with
built-in speakers, not a personal hifi Ipod-type thingy - that will play
MP3 files recorded on to CD-Rs; however I can't find one anywhere. Does
such a beast exist?

I know there are various personal hifi options that would do the trick,
along with a separate amplifier/speaker unit but that's not what I want.
I'd like to be able to play compilation CDs etc containing 150 or so
MP3 tracks; and as it's genuinely for 'music-while-I-diy' I don't want
to use anything fragile or expensive in a mucky environment.

We have a 25-quid DVD player for the kids, which plays DVD, CD, MP3 -
you name it - via the telly, so I can't believe there isn't a market out
there for what I'm looking for; and if so, why can't I find it!

Thanks
David
