Boom windshield audio system
I am about to receive a new Boom Windshield Speaker system from Harley for Christmas. I am not a guy who stores music on my phone and don't like to spend alot of money. So, what do most people do to supply tunes to the speaker system?
( The Boom system was a gift from my wife for Christmas so opinions as to it being junk, and could had bought better will not answere my question) Thanks and Merry Christmas to everyone.

Assuming you have a phone that can hold music, what is your aversion to storing music on it? The process to get music on your phone is probably not dissimilar to getting it on a MP3 player.
According to the information on http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...-08-7632109--1 it seems like literally anything with a 3.5mm audio jack could work.
An iPod Nano has a built in FM radio and could be a good choice, though I suppose some people might call it a lot of money...

if you have a iphone you can get the itunes app and pay 10.95 a month and get any music you want...and if u pay for data and its not unlimited you can download albums/songs/videos on to your playlist through the itunes storage while your on wifi signal so when you play them it doesnt use data..then transfer play to speaker using bluetooth or audio jack

+1 on the Pandora.
The boom audio is a good system and from what I understand the windshield version is better than what I had which was the handlebar mounted version.
I moved onto a fairing so I sold the boom audio to a fellow forum member.
When I had the boom audio I got a Bluetooth receiver off Amazon for I believe around $30.
My intent was to hard wire it in so that it always stayed charged but I found that when it was plugged in I got some speaker noise, so I just left it unplugged.
I like not having to connect the wires every time I got on the bike.
I'd go at least 6-8 hours without having to recharge it so M-F I left it unplugged.
Friday prior to the weekend if I was going to do some serious riding I'd plug it in overnight.
I think you'll like the boom audio for local riding a lot, highway riding; not so much.

I'm sure this answer doesn't help the OP out, but it's another, simpler option in my opinion.
