You know what I think would be grand - to fabricate a 'boom box' straight outa the 80's, but with a sled for the Rio to slide into.. I'm talking bout an XL box, with quality speakers, perhaps first encased in fibreglass, then inside a metal cabinet, with removable speakers for good separation.. inside would be a smallish amp, a battery (perhaps a marine one?) and of course the obligatory external usb, rj45, serial, power, etc - just think of the parties by the lake, camping, beach, etc - with your Rio slid into a purpose-built boom box!
