Music Player at DL

[jammy2211]

So I've had an urge to get a music player for my camp circle at DL. A long time ago at Reading we clubbed together to get a battery powered CD player with a ton of batteries and it ruled.

I figured with the way technology has gone I'd be able to pick up a cheap 16GB or something Mp3 player that was battery powered to plug into some portable speakers. But alas - it doesnt seem an option, I can't find much at all let alone anything that's cheap.

So what can anyone suggest for the best way to bring music to a festival? Baring in mind battery power is advisable for having it last all weekend and I don't think I could cope with just 1 or 2 GB of music on the device . Don't really need whatever I get beyond the festival so cheapness is preferred but can probably spend a bit of money if needed.

A portable DAB radio tuned to Planet Rock should do the trick!

Fill yer boots. I got a x mini speaker and it's plenty loud enough but there's much louder ones out there!

This speaker is really good, the unit is small but really loud! Battery lasted the whole weekend too

I have previously took my iPod and a cheap basic iPod dock, it's pretty tinny and batteries run out quick! This year I've bought a radio for £20, I'm going to tune into Download Radio. I'll bring plenty of batteries so we don't run out!

I remember seeing a super high power speaker on this site somewhere. Think it was the old T forum. I can't find a link anywhere but it was supposedly bad ass for volume.

Cheers for all the suggestions, prob going to get some form of DAB radio which runs on batteries - and has mp3 player input somehow. Failing that just one of these speaker things for mp3ing, we'll see.
