My '01 has a cassette player. I'm looking in to a Sirius/XM adapter for it.

Many sat receivers have a built-in FM transmitter that will transmit directly into the FM radio on the bike. Mine does, and I do the same thing for my MP3 player.

If you're good with the digital device, frankly, that's the way to go. CD's have to be changed, obviously, as well as the storage issues, and they do skip when you get a good slam into a pot hole, over a ground hog or other road disturbance.

You can burn a couple hundred MP3 files on a CD

Although, it still doesn't beat being behind her at a traffic light on a bouncing Sportster.... :whew:

You didn't even tell me about that for a while afterward....I wondered why you were being such a gentleman and always let me go first

I love that video.

Well what was I supposed to say? "Hey, your butt bounces real purty!"

It's not exactly the kind of thing you say to a person the first day you meet.

Yeah, I like the MP3. I'll use both since I don't have some of the cds on the mp3. Ground hog day, ah yes.

What? It's not like we put it on FB or anything.

Do mp3 files on CD's not skip?

 

[GWguy]

Do mp3 files on CD's not skip?

Nope. There is technology built-in so the player recognizes MP3 vs CDA and institutes anti-phasing and anti-skip protocols. Has to do with the spin speed of the disk vs the rotational coefficient and platter warp and the compression algorithms used in encapsulating the MP3 files.

Unfortunately, the technology just isn't good enough to overcome the HD motor vibrations. :sosad:

.....the HD motor vibrations. ..:

?? Wuht vibrations?

Haven't had a skip yet. Hit a few pretty good bumps too.
