Must have for the tunes loving greenie: crank powered MP3 player

I’m putting this on my Christmas Wish List.Via Ecofriend via Coolest Gadgets, a crank powered MP3 Player ($340) that gives you 40 minutes of listening time for every minute cranked…

The inventor of the Free Play Wind up radio, Travor Baylis is back again and this time with a much better earth-friendly gadget. The device known as the Eco Media Player requires you to wind it up to play music, watch videos, listen to radio, view photo albums and even read eBooks and all that will not require you to pay for electricity.

The player supports media and data of all types on its 2GB internal memory or via SD cards. The media player is so robust that it does not require you to sync it with a computer as when connected to a PC or a Mac it’s seen as an external drive which allows for easy “drag and drop” of all media files.

The device can also function as its own record and tape ripper to capture a large record collection into portable MP3s, it also comes with a microphone for recording voice memos. Another great feature of this device is that it can also act as a cellphone charger.
