Shower mp3 Player?

Posted by michael on from the .ogg-would-be-good-too dept.

Apreche writes "I was in the shower today humming a song that's been in my head. I started to really want to listen to music in the shower, but the best product I've ever seen is a shower cd player from the sharper image. Are there ANY waterproof mp3 players? I'm looking for about 30 minutes of music, all of the buttons in winamps main window, and stereo sound or better. I mean, now that I have all kinds of digital music, what good is it if I can't listen to it wherever and whenever I want?"

      No, I figured you could just use the iPod through the bag.

    "stereo sound or better"

    Stereo isn't good enough? What do you want, a surround-sound 5.1 channel setup? It takes quite a geek to step into a shower and think "this sounds good, but could use an over-spigot center speaker, plus two more astride the shampoo rack, plus a subwoofer built into the cabinent space under sink."

    If I were you, I'd concentrate on reducing the background noise before I consider a second speaker.

    Now, if you can just find a source for quality quadraphonic or 5.1 MP3's ...
