I told you you'd be sorry buying an emoticon, but no, you were hung over. Well look at you now. It's not catching on at all!

I am an old man who likes to listen to the radio while walking the dog. But I also would like to use Bluetooth earphones, because the dog is young and impulsive and I've had my earphones ripped out more than a few times from the cable getting looped around something as the dog lunges at whatever squirrel. Anything I've found so far is either BT receiver only, or transmits over BT except for FM, or will do it but you still have to have wired earphones plugged in to act as the antenna. So: is there a pocket FM radio that transmits over Bluetooth, without any extra things hanging off of it? Digital tuning would be a plus. No need for anything other than that.

Many cheap MP3 players on amazon have bluetooth and FM radio. I don't have any device to recommend, but you might want to look.

Oh I've looked. Basically all of them say they have FM and Bluetooth, but the fine print will say it's either/or. Closest thing is the dummy-earphone-antenna deal, and I've actually got an antenna that plugs into a headphone jack for such purposes, but it's still awkward.

I just remembered I have an old LG Velvet that has an FM tuner (but also wants wired earphones as an antenna), maybe I can hack up a cheap pair of earphones and hide the cable inside the case.
