If you're the type that carries just a notebook and no backpack, the Mead Five Star Sound notebook is a traditional binder with a twist. Inside is a pocket for your MP3 player, an easy way to listen to music in between classes. Any music device plugs into the sleeve and can play music through the built-in speakers. It's the size of a standard three-ring binder and goes for $30.
