Well, I have wondered about those solar patio umbrellas with those LEDs, but I cannot see myself buying something that  i can only enjoy during the nighttime.

You see I am improving parts of the backyard and I want something that I can use all day plus when I BBQ, i want to listen to music.  I want to add like a radio into my patio umbrella with solar power or something?

Anyone have an ideas of what I should use?

The technology is there, however I don't know of any system with an umbrella to meet the requirements your asking. Can you provide a link to the specific product you're talking about? I'd like to check it out.

Oh I think I know what your talking about and there's a retailer selling for the manufacturer.
