Determine whether or not you want electronic or battery-operated speakers. You can make this decision by contemplating how often you will use the speakers and how often you will transport them (if at all). If you use the speakers often, electronic speakers would be the wise choice.

Consider purchasing a full stereo system. There are plenty of systems out there that have AM/FM radio, CD player and the ability to plug an mp3 player into the device. If you do decide to buy one of these, search for a stereo system that includes a charger for your mp3 player. This will allow you to use your mp3 player and charger all at the same time, thus allowing you to listen to your music continuously without the mp3 player dying.

Take your mp3 player to the store and try it with different mp3 speakers. Most electronics stores will have the speakers and stereo systems plugged in, allowing you to hear the sound of the speakers yourself. If not, ask an associate if there is any way for you to test out the speakers. Most stores will set up a device for you to test, especially if you appear to be very interested in making a purchase at the store.
