Listen to music underwater?

By Anthony       

We are gadget crazy here at Media Lightbox and always on the prowl for the next ‘big’ thing!  I have a huge library of music that I have collected over the years (and yes – its stored safely on the file hosting of Media Lightbox so I can access it anywhere anytime..shameless plug…plug / underwater – see what I did there?!) -

Anyway, I have started training for the Newry half Marathon  and Dublin Full Marathon and I am swimming twice a week as part of the plan.  Swimming laps IS boring…cue – the nu Dolphin Touch (view it here) 4GB waterproof MP3 player.  OK – it works in water..however, the user interface leaves a lot to be desired – If you want to fast forward through songs while running/swimming – fughedaboudittttt!   Simply not designed for this – you have to set your songlist up, press play and then go about your business as its virtually impossible to unlock the touchpad, and activate the fast forward button…not happening!

Also, there are some weird menu options which when arrived at…simply wont let you return to the top level menu unless you restart the player.  The sound is pretty clear and both dry land and subaqua headphones work great!  If they can figure out the fast forward issue..then this will be fantastic – right now – it does the job but at a price.

So be it on land or underwater (!) your favorite music files can be securely stored with the free online backup systems of a MediaLightBox.com Account – sign-up for a FREE TRIAL now and enjoy access to your music library on-the-go!
