Music during swim!

My regular swim sessions are now 2.4 km per session (450m fly, 450 back, 450 breast and the rest free) and it's getting to the point where I really need some music to break the monotony of lap after lap!

Anyone have something they can recommend? I read good reports about the Neptune Finis? Other ideas?

    I have the Waterfi iPod shuffle. I was quite startled the first time I heard music underwater that wasn't muffled. I've had it for about 6 months and have never had issues with it.

    I recommend the Finis as I have had one for 18 months, still running good. I also have experience with the iPod shuffle and an Adidas mp3, both of them the ear buds will go out in about 6 months. I swim 3-4 days a week.

    ^This - I absolutely LOVE my Waterfi iPod Shuffle. Do yourself a favor, no matter what player you decide on get short cord headphones to go with it so that your not wrapping 900 feet of cord around your goggle strap........

    I also have the waterfi ipod shuffle and LOVE it! totally helps my workout go by faster!! I agree about getting the short cord, but even with that I have to tuck some into my cap/goggles.

    All I do with the cord is this: I clip the iPod to my goggle strap & pass the cord between the strap & my head. I can adjust it up or down, as needed....
