I noticed in another thread that keeping water bladders clean and fresh is apparently a bit of a problem when not in use. Try potassium metabisulfite otherwise known as Camden tablets dissolved in water. This product is sold in shops catering to wine makers and is used to sterilize wine making equipment. I am a winemaker among other hobbies and I use Camden tablets or bulk potassium metabisulfite to store plastic wine drums when not in use. I have stored drums for up to 6 months qnd no "yuccky stuff" grew in them in the off season. For water containers etc. use camden tablets for convenience. crush two tabs and mix in a gallon of water; pour in the vessle tp be kept clean and store. When ready to use again rinse thorouthly and fill with water or whatever.
some of the newer, larger models have a tiny pocket near the top expressly made for an mp3 player. i'm probably going to snag one of those, likely camelbak mule.
