I know that some of you are really into your music and I've saw mention of the iPod a time or two on here...........and of course Andy (AK) told me and showed me this thing but I just never really paid attention, I guess.

Just got the 4 GB, 1000 song iPod Nano for my birthday, came home and immediatly downloaded a lot of CDs (301 songs for 23.2 hours of continuos play time).  Just went out and tried it on the bike and this thing is incredable, to say the least!

It's about the size of a credit card but maybe 3/16" thick and it actually holds 1000 songs.  I bought the clear, hard plastic case for it, since I'll be using it on the bike......also the car charger, etc. so that I can recharge it on the road.  It has a built in graphic equalizer when you download the software onto your computer, too.......I think about 9 bands or so.  Very simple to figure out and use.

No more having to carry CDs and having to change them every time I stop...........and, never having to listen to the DJs talking, on the radio......just song, after song, after song.  It loads them in alphabetical order of the artist however, it does have a "shuffle" feature so that they just play at random.  I really look forward to listening to my music all the time and never have to fuss with anything (CDs or radio).  Hell, I think this beats the satellite radio in the BMW, even.

Morning JC;

Let me know how you mount it, if you do. I hung mine from the pocket in my lower and wasn't very satisfied. Seemed like it bounced too much and would lock up the hard drive. Neat technology though w/ tons of tunes. Also used the charger/transmitter so I didn't need to go w/ a direct connect to the aux. plug. Worked ok and very transportable to my other vehicles. Bit of a pain in the butt though to scan for a channel @ 70 mph when it was interfered by w/ another, stronger channel.

I have a Nano as well.  Great gadget.

A couple of the SEEG owners out here have the little three pouch windshield bag and I'll probably go with that for the location.

In regards to my leg fairing glove boxes, I have microfiber towels folded and laying in the bottom of each in case I throw my cell phone or something else fragile in there, to absorb vibration and the bouncing around, but I don't want a cable running that far.

I'll probably stick with the cable, at least for now.  I like the no hassel feature of a cable vs. the cordless trasmitter and having to find a station from time to time.  Maybe the cordless route in my truck, though.

I use the wireless fm tranmitter works great in my location,not so good around Chicago,but 90% of the time I am Happy with the preformace.I have the three pouch windshield bag ,I put bubble wrap in to help with the bouncing,I have a ipod mini,the nano does not have a hard drive it is circuit board so the vibration is not a factor.
