Waterproof MP3 player?

I'm looking for a water proof (submersible) MP3 player for use while kayaking. Ideal characteristics:
Small Footprint
Big memory (>128MB at least)
Decent battery life (>6 hours)
Open earphones or small speakers I can mount on/in my helmet (so i can still hear the ocean, lifeguards and other surfers).

I saw something called SwimMan but their website contains ZERO information other than the price of the casette player model, so I'm pretty leary.

What about the headphones or speakers, though? I could put my nomad in a Zip-Loc bag, but if I roll (and I WILL roll) my head is going under the water....

Use cheap ones. 😀

Etymotics are sealed, so they might work. I suggest you contact them directly http://www.etymotic.com/

A sharper image shower cd player. Or pay 4x more for one at their site.

Not a bad idea especially for the price. I'm not sure if it could play CDs well in the turbulence of the surf, but I could listen to the radio. Maybe I should just get a small radio and put it in a zip-lock bag in my hatch. That would leave enough room for my water bottle, too....

Monday, I thought this was Tuesday...oh sh!t, I'm supposed to be at work right now !!

BTW, put your mp3 player in a food plastic bag, wrap the opening around the headphone wire and melt it closed with something hot (match, cigarette lighter)
