Mifine mini AM FM MP3 player radio model Y-896 AM with flashlight

The Radio Geek shows off his new lost cost Radio MP3 player. It is a nice little radio that plays MP3 files and even has a flashlight!

Omg. Using the lanyard end to stand this up... How perceptive. I was using a business card holder to support mine on my desk at work. Receptiion is exceptional. No other radio but this one has ever picked up clear stations in my office, as our building is metal. The sound quality is astounding as well, better than my $89.00 Bluetooth speaker. I was amazed. Battery lasted 8 hrs as advertised. Only fault is the battery indicator always shows full, even when depleted. Very happy with this gadget, and all for the price of a couple Starbucks coffees.

Ray R glad you found the video useful. I found another problem with the radio. If you listen with headphones and the headphone gets unplugged when its playing the volume from the speaker will blow you away. The speaker volume is higher then the headphone jack. Thanks for stopping by.

Very good stereo sound on mp3 music files. Very good for the price. Find it in amazon for about $10. great gift for xmas.

I was looking for a clock radio those are hard to find now days I got this because the color variety its small and I can place it over my bed or the desk when Im on the computer Also the flashlight is a good feature

How to increase or decrease the speed of its sound.

[@todderbert]

Do you still use this player? Someone recommended this to me after watching my Tecsun X3 video. I've found on amazon under different names, price is around the same. Is the AM usable? Also is there a file limit? You said 4000 programs were on your card. I would love to have a similar setup, since I also enjoy classic radio shows on a dedicated player. I noticed you had a nice recording of Fibber McGee and Molly, was that obtained through archive.org? I have a difficult time finding decent recordings there.

[@TheRadiogeek]

The the AM radio is usable but not that good. It has noise generated by the LED display. The display can not be turned off. The micro SD card I have installed is a 32GB but I'm not sure how big you can go. You can have up to 9999 files on the card. I have a USB hard drive full of Old Time Radio shows and just copied some shows to the player. I will warn you that if you listen with headphones at night and the headphone gets unplugged while its playing, it will wake the dead! you have to have the volume cranked up to hear it with headphones. I hope that helps you. Take care.

wish it had a clock function for night

Sir how can change fm station

[@sparkdetect]

Oh GREAT...another multi-function radio out there to tempt me. Great review.

[@TheRadiogeek]

sparkdetect Thanks. It is really nice for playing OTR shows on. FM radio is good and AM is not that good.

[@teekay989]

Do you know if I can buy SD/Micro SD cards pre-recorded with OTR? I'd love to be able to sit back in the evenings and listen to shows I listened to as a youngster (I'm 71 now)

[@TheRadiogeek]

Antonios Kekalos I have not seen any pre programmed micro SD cards. I just looked on eBay and found some USB flash drives with old time radio shows on them. The flash drive will work on this radio as well as micro SD cards. Just plug in the flash drive into the USB port on the radio. I just searched eBay for USB old time radio and found some. Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@teekay989]

Thank you.

[@punjabradiozbatala3773]

Sir . Its a nice product but the mini player that i have, is facing a problem that it sounds in a slow motion , is there any solution you know to sound it in a normal speed . Must reply

[@TheRadiogeek]

I don’t know what would make it sound like it’s playing slow. I don’t think it has any speed adjustment on it. Sorry I don’t have a solution for your problem. Good luck and thanks for watching. 👍❤️📻

[@ernestoantonioperez8594]

i am very satisfied with the product. Initially Amazon sent me a defective one where the AM station would not stay on set dial but Amazon returned my money and bought another one. I bought two more for family friends living in third world

[@cameranmanner4701]

Just to clarify, the mp3 play function only plays files in whatever order they are placed when copied over and there is NO random function?

[@TheRadiogeek]

Cameran Manner that is correct, no random play.

[@cameranmanner4701]

TheRadiogeek thanks

[@adrianlee3635]

Plug in a 3.5mm audio headphone jack and no sound comes out from the headjack even volume is adjusted high....so take note of it...pls try and you will not be too happy then

[@TheRadiogeek]

Adrian Lee yes the headphone jack is very poor on this radio. Mine dose work but you have to turn the volume up very high to hear it. If you have it turned up with headphones and the headphone gets unplugged it will make you jump. Bad design. Thanks for stopping by.

HELLO And Great Review Does it have a On Or Off Sleep Timer to Save Batteries? #2 those Cell type batteries dry up in 9 months to a Year That Said you can not go by the numbers on the Battery to replace it? and not the voltage either as everythings 3.7 now days No You have to be about replace that exact battery exact Size and Polarity others may as well toss in trash once its dried UP If You find out which battery or where to buy PLEASE Let me know as i want to buy that Radio its PRETTY NEAT :-) THANK YOU,

[@TheRadiogeek]

chevypowertogo the radio doesn't have a sleep timer. I don't have the radio with me to check what type of battery it has. Maybe you could check some reviews on Amazon and ask reviewers that question. I'm thinking its some very common cell phone type battery given the low price for this radio.

[@chevypowertogo]

Good Idea good advice Thank You, :-)

[@VintageElectronicsGeek]

Not bad for the price.....
