This rocks. Although, what do you have the player wired to? Does it have speakers built-in? The intro made the sound being heard like it was loud enough to spread clear-sound around a 10-foot radius. Is it really that loud, or do you have it wired to battery-powered speakers in that vest?

Excellent. I don't know about screwing the back on on the other side of the fabric though...

Unless you want the screws pulling through the fabric, the original backing makes a very good anchor.

I think that I would try sewing in some velcro on the clothing, and then using some adhesive backed velcro on the mp3 player. That way it would be easy to remove for washing or upgrading, or even use the same player on multiple items of clothing at different times. You could even do this with a cell phone or a small digital camera..

this would be a bit more devistating than washing your pants with money in them... but the principle is there....now all you have to do is either wire in some small speakers up near the neck of the vest (with a small amp maybe?)...or route your headphones up there
