    Does your radio have an AUX input jack on the front?

    If so go to radio shack, get an MP3 player, (or spring for an Ipod)
    or if you have an eye phone use it.

    Download the songs to the mp3 player, you can drop it in the windshild bag
    or get a handlebar mount from GPScity.com get the ram mount stuff.

    Or you can get the magnetic tank phone/mp3 holder from HD and put it in
    that.

    I like the tank holder from hd works well have it towards the right side close to the aux port it don't scratch the paint at all just keep the magnet area away from any thing that might have shavings on it and pick something up on the magnet strong magnet holds great at any speed

    I've tried connecting my Ipod to my aux port...it works..but its not a docking station! Once the Ipod battery runs down you got no music. Being able to plug a thumb drive directly to my stereo negates that problem. I was hoping to find a stereo I could just insert a sd card into but I guess stereo manufacturers just aren't that technologically advanced yet. Don't know why that's such a big leap for them to make. They probably don't want the added expense to re-tool their manufacturing plants...I don't know...frickin idiots I think they iz. Or maybe they iz just greedy frickin idiots and want to sell you one device to play the radio and cd's, one for usb drives and one for sd cards...god forbid they should roll it all into one device.

    Sir Rat, have you thought about XM/Sirius radio? For $96 a year, you get the ultimate in radio quality with over 120 stations to choose from, and satelite stations NEVER fade out or get static. They have a free add-on radio kit that mounts on handlebars that plugs into your "aux" port.
