After trying to find a solution to my needs as far as listening to music and coming up empty, I decided to make my own mini boombox. I didnt want a docking station that has to be always plugged into the usb on the computer. I also wanted something that runs off batteries and has an amp in it so it would be portable. It also has to look like its made for the mda and not cheesy
I picked up a set of logitech powered ipod speakers for 29.99. I then dremeled the ipod holder so the buttons on the MDA were all in the clear. I took the pathetic headset that comes with the mda and cut the plug off it and wired it into the 3.5mm plug that goes into the dock. The speakers fold up and will fit in a large coat pocket fine. The sound may not get a bar full of people dancing volume wise, but it still sounds sweet and serves my purpose and is portable.
My next step in to butcher a set of BT headphone I have and make a BT set of powered speakers.
