    Hi guys,
     
    I want to get some sort of boombox 'device' for my 13 year old son which will allow him to load and play ripped mp3's, create playlists etc. It's for his bedroom and will primarily be used while he's studying. The principle functionality i need is the ability to connect the device (or it's removable Micro SD Card) to a PC to transfer mp3 files. It's not important that it plays CD's. An FM radio would be a bonus as would an ability to connect to a wifi network and stream content but not critical. He's had a lot of money spent on him recently (new PS4 console) so I want to keep the cost of this device as low as possible and I'm brand agnostic by the way!!
     
    I spent ages looking on your website and and other sites but can't find something which does what I want. All "MP3" boom boxes seem to be CD based i.e. they will only play MP3's which have been burned onto CD's and the HDD based units are mini or midi Hi-Fi systems which is OTT for him.
     
    I guess I could get a portable MP3 player (perhaps bluetooth enabled if such a device exists) and hook that up to a portable speaker via an AUX cable or bluetooth but that seems a bit messy.
     
    Appreciate any suggestions you want to make.
     
    Cheers,

    Ben
