The Red Ferret Journal

The Roberts MP-Sound 41 DAB/FM Digital Radio comes with a 7 day electronic program guide so you can schedule recordings of your favourite shows on a whim. You can also record up to 8 hours of programming directly onto an SD card via the integrated memory card slot. Great for carrying around your fave sounds in your pocket friendly MP3 player. The thing has even got a TiVo type pause button, to pause/resume the radio if the phone rings. Crazy stuff, Maude. £139.99.

 With a full screen display which means no scrolling, and intuitive cassette key navigation, the radio is incredibly simple to operate. You can pause, rewind, fast-forward, record and playback programmes and tracks from the playlist on the SD card at the touch of a button. In addition, the MP-SOUND 41 also offers the PausePlus feature. As soon as the radio is switched on PausePlus works silently in the background, allowing you to pause your listening at any stage and, if you forget to press the pause button, you can simply just rewind to a selected point.
