iPod Radio Remote
By default, an iPod doesn't have the built-in functionally to act as a standalone radio. However, the iPod radio option enables a separate hardware device, the iPod Radio Remote, to receive FM radio signals; this is an excellent option for traveling when you've worn out your own playlists. Not only does the remote function as an FM tuner, but it also serves as a remote control for all functions of your iPod. The remote is compatible with any video iPod or iPod Nano and can be purchased for $49.99.
