I burn from Itunes but I only get like 70 songs on a 700mb CD-R.
Is that the norm? Are you guys getting more songs then me on a disk? I can say I've had no problems with volume, skipping or static whatsoever though. Good quality burns and just leave the CD loaded in the player. I constantly listen to music while riding.

That's a pretty slick little arrangement. My only problem with the shuffle is that you can't see of pick the artist. There are times I'd like to be able to play all Kid Rock, or the Eagles, or Bruce. But I may borrow my daughter's shuffle for shorter trips.

This problem drove me INSANE last year - I finally figured it out...
If you delete the album art - songs don't skip or search.

Yes it is if you go from the headphone jack to the aux jack. It limits the volume as that jack is designed around headphones. To get max volume, use the docking port. Do a search in ebay for "ipod dock audio cable".

Same bitrate and sampling rate here, no problems. I suggest using 128 kb/s or less since I doubt if the keenest ears could hear the difference with all the extraneous noise that churns up around a MC. Plus, you get more songs per CD.

I run a mp3 cd pretty much all the time and have had no issues at any speed of the bike. I am not sure what bitrate I burned the CD, but I do recall the first time I burned a CD it had issues when I played it on the bike. I think I burned it at a high rate, 16X. Some songs would skip and not play.
So try burning the CD at a lower speed, say below 8X and see if that works. Your best bet would be 1X or 2X, but you can try faster.

Of Course Jayman beat me too this.....and I think that I got this figured out from his thread!!!!!

This will work great. I have already done it and could not believe the difference. It also improves the clarity a great deal. I just wish it would charge the darned thing too.

I run my ipod nano through my aux input and just put it in my fairing pouch and have not had a single problem in 1400 miles with no volume problems. a buddy with a 8g ipod said his would cut off with it stored in the same fairing pouch but his was on a 08 SG, he said it was because the fairing vibrated so much.
