if your ipod has a volume adjustment, make sure that is all the way up too.. Like using my cell phone through my GPS unit hands free. I can have the volume all the way up on the GPS but if the volume is not all the way up on the phone too, its heard at lesser volume. (Bluetooth).

IPOD is the way to go on bike I think. +1

 

Spend $50 bucks and get a shuffle holds 12 hours of music sound great and I clip it onto my through cable and run cord straight to the aux jack works great.

 

Hdultrarider were did you get that

 

Ipod. I don't own one.

My GPS is plugged into the Aux jack.

 

I play MP3's through my Zumo 550 plugged into the AUX port. Works great.

 

It is an IPOD Shuffle can get it at walmart, target the apple store anywhere that sells IPOD it is about $50. Works with your ituns and you can set it so everytime it sync it just pulls a slection of your music. Quick easy solution for MP3.

 

While we have gotten into the ipod thing, I need some input. I have heard a lot of folks on here say not to use an ipod with a hard drive, stick with flash memory. I wuld like to hear from anyone who has used a hard drive model successflully. I do not plan on hard mounting it to the bars so that might cut down the vibration. A friend who rides a metric has his on his belt clip all the time with no problems. I was thinking of stashing mine in a lower and have it wrapped in a t-shirt or something. I just hate to spend 200 on a 16g nano, when i can spend 50 more and get a 120g and put everything I own on it.

 

USe iTunes to burn my mp3's and no problem

 

As stated earlier try a slower burn speed.
Personnaly I use itunes and don't have any issues burning an mp3.
I burn at 128kbs.
Bumping your quality to 256 and up only takes up more space
on your cd,less tunes that way.

 

I attached my Ipod right above the fuel gauge with industrial velcro. Works great.
