Mp3 cd
So....This is my 1st ride with Tunes on board. (08 FLHTC)
I'm Liking it.
The Bike I bought used came with a CD in the player (original owner forgot it) that had a TON of good tunes on it, and up until now, I had assumed it was a DVD with music recorded on it or something.
Finally I decided to pull it out and have a look, and lo and behold, it was only a recordable CD. 700Mb total.
I had no idea the stock HK HU in this bike would recognize an MP3 file straight off a CD without it having been converted.
This is awesome! Now I have a few CD's with hundreds of songs on them.
One lasts for hours without having to change it out.
I used Ashampoo Burning Studio to create the MP3 CD, but there are several other software options available.
Just FYI and in case you didn't already know.

Ok...I'll take that.
I will never "discover how to run my IPOD" due to the simple fact that I hate IOS.
More of an Android guy, but anyway.
I know there are multiple ways of playing exterior inputs, and that this is old school compared with what's available now, but it's pretty cheap and I bet most folks don't know it's even possible, which is why I brought it up.

This radio has been around for 8 years. I think everyone that has one, has pretty much figured out it's limitations !! Which is why most folks replace them !!

harleydodge, the stock mp3 text output on the HK is a little backwards, below is what I do to have a better track display...didn't know if you knew this trick
All files in same folder
Only mp3's
No album art in id3tag
Only id3v1 tags
Use free id3 tag editor (ie mp3tag)
For the HK to display tag information properly, swap artist and title name in id3v1 tag. When the Harmon Kardon plays it will temporarily display both artist and title, but then after a couple seconds will only display the artist name and the clock. So tag the artist field with the title to view the song title and clock during playback.
Burn as data disc with your choice of free burner software (ie cdburnerxp)
File system iso9660/joliet
Burn at 8x speed
All files in same folder

I will likely swap out the HK eventually and put something a little more up to date in it, but in the meantime, This is cool.
