I have searched, but buggered if I can find owt

I walk miles with Elvis each day and would love to be able to listen to Planet Rock on the go.

My phone can do it, but I have a limited download.

Any ideas ?

Get a mate to follow you in a car with speakers on the roof, playing all your favorite chewns.

Or a portable dab set, no idea how good the reception is on them though, and assuming PR is on dab...

I think I may have asked before. But what will be the hourly download rate on a phone when listening to radio >

Asda are doing some cheap portable DAB radios - £30. Showing out of stock ATM.

you may need to carry a spare set of batteries, though, as DAB seems to eat them quickly.

You'd get over 10 hours if you listen to a 48kb/s stream rather than 128kb/s per the calc.
