Hi.

I currently listen to either streaming radio or mp3's on my laptop while in the bathroom. I normally do this by bringing my laptop into the bathroom with me.

Can anyone suggest a way I can do this without bringing my laptop with me? I'm worried that the steam/condensation build up on my laptop could have detremental effect in the long run.

I was thinking about wireless speakers, but I'm not sure how good these are and guess I could have the same problem with steam/condensation build up.

Any ideas?

Well you can get outdoor speakers, I suppose these would be fairly bathroom proof. Douby you would find any playback hardware etc thet would be suitable.

If you don't mind the sound quality (and unless you've got decent laptop speakers it sounds like you don't), there are several wireless shower-streaming devices - I bought my mother one from Debenhams a few years ago (got wheeled out around Christmas) - came with a shower radio/receiver and a transmitter that plugs into the audio out from your source.

We have a false ceiling in our bathroom with the small downlighters usually found in kitchens and I keep considering this (http://www.kbsound.net/website/) coupled with an iTrip or other FM transmitter - may be a bit overkill but it is designed for bathroom use.

I've a feeling it's something they bought a job lot of one year to flog off at Christmas - I found them among the usual range of "3 for 2"-esque deals.

Do you have the make/model details?

Sounds fantastic. Thanks.
