A cheap radio/CD player with an MP3 player jack (not a dock), recommendations?

Looking to replace my kitchen radio as the antenna has fallen off and the CD player hasn't ever allowed me to skip forward, only backward (so a bit annoying). It has an ipod dock which we do use, but I'd rather have something with a jack to plug in any mp3 player so I could use both my ipod and my htc wildfire phone where I download my podcasts to.

Any ideas?

there are loads on amazon but prices vary wildly

eg \link{http://www.amazon.co.uk/Goodmans-GPS188IPXI-Portable-Boombox-Universal/dp/B002TVIDKW/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323985744&sr=1-5\£47 for a Goodmans} (not the best make in the world)

\link{http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-AZD208-05-Docking-Entertainment/dp/B003J36GMG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323985744&sr=1-1\£70 for Philips}

lots of others

when it says "universal dock for ipod" does that just mean different sized ipods or all MP3s???

you might do better having a wander round eg Comet actually, with your MP3 lead in your hand!

universal ipod dock will be just for different sizes of ipods, that's what we have now. They attach to the underside of an ipod where the charger would go. What I'm after is one that has a lead and jack coming off it and you can plug into the headphone socket of any mp3 player. I'm thinking it exists, but maybe it doesn't?

I got a kitsound dock on Amazon, it docks an iPhone or iPod and syncs the clock with it. It also has an mp3 jack to plug into any player. Also a decent radio and alarm clock and speaker. Was about £30, have been very happy with it.

ooh, Booze that sounds nearly the thing! Is it too much to hope it has a CD player too, or a version that has one? We've still got loads of CDs around.
