I've only done two day game approaches with MP3 players, so you might want to wait for someone with more experience of this particular situation. Both were direct, neither went any differently to how I usually do. With both I walked up besides her, tapped her arm, and motioned for her to take the earphones out. One went well, the other didn't. I think there's always an element of 'what does this guy want?' with day game, you're just slightly extending that time with MP3 players.

However, the best advice I can give is do it. Do 10 approaches with MP3 players, and 10 without, and see what happens.


Edit: I found this in the ASF archives, Brad P gives some good advice, thought it might be handy.
