Famous for its innovative and novel USB products, Thanko Japan has now come out with the Cranking MP3 player.

This lovely 1GB MP3 player is normally charged via USB. In case its battery runs out, start by using the wind up charger. A good half an hour of cranking full charges the battery for nearly 3.2 hours of playback.

Let’s check its other useful features:

•    The cranking MP3 players seem to have been customised for the Japanese population. Targeted towards earthquake prone country, as Japan is known to be, the DAP also carries a LED torch for usage in case of an emergency.
•    It though, lacks a display and has in place basic controls to change tracks and adjust the volume.
•    Thanko Japan’s Cranking MP3 player measures 75 × 45 × 34.5mm.
•    It weighs approximately 88.8g. The MP3 Player- HCHRMP01 is available for approximately (£40).
