Eliminates walkman™ embarassment.

A small directed motion sensor worn in a pendant. The sensor is pointed at the jaw line of the wearer. The pendant is styled in beautiful, durable Diamonique™ and is connected to the wearer’s personal stereo by a discrete wire. When the stereo is on, the sensor scans the jaw line for movement. If the jaw moves independently of the head, the pendant sends a signal to the personal stereo and cuts the music. The user can set the length of time the music is stopped using the Diamonique™ dial in the middle of the pendant.

Advantage #1: No more singing along in public.
Advantage #2: No more mouthing along in public.
Advantage #3: No need to fiddle about with buttons when you want to engage in conversation, the pendant simply stops the music when you open your mouth.
Advantage #4: It is now impossible to walkman and chew gum at the same time.
Advantage #5: Recidivist sing-a-longers will eventually develop the important life skill that is ventriloquism.

Not suitable for cows.

       Downside #1: shouting loudly because you think everybody hears the music like you do, but then feeling doubly stupid in front of yourself because the music has just shut off.   

       Advantage #6: Extra geek points.
