Yes.  I've done it a few times on some lakes where I wasn't worried 
about getting run over by a boat or tipping over.  If you're going out 
more for exercise, or you're getting tired, it is a great morale booster.

There appears to be a number of waterproof cases and things for an iPod 
and other popular MP3 players if you already own one.  You also need 
waterproof headphones, or just use a pair of cheap headphones under a hat.

It might be fun to mount some waterproof speakers under the deck, and 
hook up a car stereo to a bilge pump battery.  You could then blast 
"Ride of the Valkyries" as you were making the rounds, but that'd 
probably be against Leave No Trace ethics.  But, I wonder how good of a 
sounding board a kayak would make?
