Ipod nano for me, holds over 800 songs and my Kenwood stereo charges it while using it.

 

Most of the flash players don't give you the deeper option for volume, there are patches and such you can use to try to increase the output level, but so far nothing's worked for my Windows Mobile MP3 cellphone. I used a preamp software that really distorts the music when you try to increase audio level. I think the ipods have the feature built in and it works to boot.

 

I'm running a Zumo550, put a 4gig sd card in it. Put a bunch of mp3's on it.
All solid state, run the sound output from the zumo to the aux input on the Harley radio.
very satisifed with that setup.

 

I've got an iPod video from back in the day hooked up to my Alpine X-100 and I haven't had any problems with vibrations. No skip, jump, or anything of the sort.

 

I use my iphone. No problems with skipping.

I have found the quality of the cable running from the ipod to the aux input on the HK radio will have a drastic effect on volume/sound quality.

iphones are flash memory based

 

Burn your MP3s onto a CD. You can put over 150 mp3s on one CD. Five or six CDs...how many more songs could you want!!!!!!

 

Hello,
Maybe someone here can help me out. I installed a system on my friends RG this past weekend. Biketronics Retro-Kit, Hogtune speaks and a Sony headunit with direct connect IPOD attachment. When we hook up his brand new Nano, he gets a Ipod communication error message on the head unit face. Is this possibly because most of his tracks on his Ipod are from CD saved to Itunes and not purchased from Itunes. Any help would be great, thx in advance, Rich

 

I use the big iPod, but keep it in my jacket pocket and plug it into the stereo. As another poster said, they are sensitive to vibration and heat as well, so you may have problems if you try to just stick them in a windshield bag or something. The other thing I did is create a bunch of MP3 discs, separated by genre (country, rock, metal, etc.) and sometimes just pop one of those in and hit "random." They are about ten hours of music each and I out together about a dozen of them.

Some Sony headunits are not compatible with certain versions of ipods.
