Need a little musical kick in your step? What better way to gaze at the dropping leaves or have a Fall picnic with a little tunes for everyone to listen to. This month, we honour back to school with some accessories to keep your tunes on the street, and let everyone in on your fabulous MP3 collection.

Sony Network Walkman

This new MP3 player from Sony has wicked iridescent “organic” lighting in blue, black, green or red. It can’t hold the same amount of music as that white gizmo from Mac, but you’ll feel just as slick with a lovely 10 gigs.

$250 at www.sonystyle.ca or 1-888-289-7669.

SoundSak Sonic Full Audio Backpack

For true music on the go, this backpack already comes equipped with four-inch directional speakers and power amplifier. You’ll have to load it with six AA batteries for about 10 hours of juice, bit imagine snowboarding with tunes by your side, or chilling in the park with a pack that can hold, oh ya, other stuff.

$100 US at www.bestbrandsclub.com or 973-328-1284.

Icon Backpack 2.0

It’s not exactly a music backpack, but you can easily use the mesh to hold some mini-speakers and plenty of pockets for your MP3s, CDs and a player. There’s a skull and bones lining with Oakley logo and it comes in 10 colours. There’s even a special compartment for a laptop.

$180 at www.oakley.ca or 1-866-876-7945.
