I want a mp3 player like the Nomad, but that allows you to listen to the radio too.
Is there such a beast? If so what's it called?

Yes. The Nomad II MG and the Nomad II both have an FM tuner built in. Links to features. I just got a Nomad IIc, which does not have FM tuner. I love my Nomad IIc, has 64 megs onboard and can handle up to 128 meg Smartmedia cards!!! Pretty damn cool!!! Hope that helps.:)

Riovolt or Iriver 250 if you esnt to go cd based, which in my opinion is the way to go when cdr media is just dirt cheap.

PC_Freak, my vote would be the Nomad II, small size and good battery life. BTW, since I haven't seen this mentioned yet, the Nomad only has a FM tuner. Yeah, I know 99.99% of people might not listen to AM, but I just want to keep you informed.
