If you go to the Sandisk site for MP3 players
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1010)-MP3_and_Video_Players.aspx
you will gather that wherever an FM tuner is listed there is an asterisk
leading the reader to *not available in Europe. If you read the review
comments for several of the Sandisk players for sale at Amazon.co.uk you
will find remarks indicating annoyance at discovering that their player
does not have a tuner enabled - in some cases people appear to have been
mislead by incorrect advertisements.
