Questions about portable music??
Okay ladies...I know just enough to be confused! Right now I have all of my music on my computer(Spotify)...works well for close to the house. I have long cables on my speakers and just stick them out on the deck...
I need to know how to get it on some device that I can take it out in the garden with me..and I cannot stand earbuds or headphones. It needs to be a device that would be loud enough that I could walk 15 or 20 feet away and still hear it. Is this even possible?
It has to be possible! I just don't have a clue where to start...any help will be appreciated! Thanks, Donna

My DH has an MP3 player and we have a portable speaker that we can plug into it directly. It is not like listening to our stereo, but it does great when we are staying in a hotel while traveling. I got it when we were in Yosemite 2 years ago and our radio/stereo went out in our truck and we couldn't stand the idea of driving 8 hours home without any music. There are several types. I bought it at a CVS drug store in Oakhurst. My selection was limited but I know there are a lot out there. My husband was surprised the sound wasn't that bad and it all runs on batteries.
Since there are wireless head phones I am sure there are wireless speakers out there too. Check with Best Buy and see what they can tell you.

I have an iPod and the Bose Mini Speaker, it's about $200. but the sound is amazing. It's portable, you can take it any where you want music. I bought cheaper speakers at various stores, I tried 3 kinds and took them all back. They were awful sounding and some just had a lot of static.

I have an IPOD on a sounddock type radio for down in my sewing room. It can get quite loud for when I have the quilt machine running so I can listen to it. I also have a set of portable speakers I bought years ago for my portable CD player which I haven't used in years now. Plus I added a small radio with a IPOD dock for the kitchen when I stuck up there for whatever reason. Then of course I have a setup for the car too when I'm on long trips. Made sure when I changed cars years ago it had the ability for "AUX" to plug my IPOD into and I have a holder that sticks to the windshield. Have one also for my GPS too. The holder I got for the IPOD also can hold a cell phone too as it adjusts to width.
