Most places have good internet.
If you have an Apple TV bring it with you.

There's also over-the-air Island92 (rock, blues, & good-time radio) whose signal can be picked up over most of the island. I listen to it on my iPod on Orient.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

The Spotify premium service ($9/month) enables you to download your playlists to your phone/tablet. Then you have it with you wherever you go.

For about $3.95 for a month, you can secure a VPN account and install it on your electronic devices and spoof all of the music and video services into thinking you're still in the USA while you are on your island vacation. Very inexpensive and very easy to do and it works perfectly if you have a good internet connection. I do it every time I'm on the island and I get everything.

The Apple TV also allows you to access US only services.
Be careful when using a VPN, many services such as ebanking or Paypal will be denied to you.

My recommendation for the VPN specifically in regards to the request for audio and video, and for that purpose a VPN will work extremely well and most of the services can be run on phones, tablets or computers.
If someone is looking for a solution for ebanking or PayPal than I can offer a simple no cost solution.
I stand by my recommendation as a solution for the original request from the OP.

And yet, I used my VPN connection to watch specific games in specific viewing markets while I was on the island from mid November through mid December. No solution is always 100 percent, yet a VPN will be a workable solution almost every time.

I run an FCC-licensed non-commercial low power FM station in Southern Maryland (wmjs) as an unpaid volunteer and we have listeners on six contenents. When I set up our online streaming capability three years ago I elected to pay our streaming provider a little extra each month for "port 80" service and that made a big positive difference in the number of international listeners able to enjoy our 24/7 music mix.

Personally, I listen to the waves breaking on the beach. It's the only sound I care to hear while on the island.

I agree. Love your reply. When I first saw the title of this post, my first thought was to reply "with my ears"! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

I'm with you completely. The sounds of the waves and the breezes are sweet music to my ears and all I really want to hear. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
