Strande Phenom....................
I have an '06 EGC with the HK radio in it. I have tried several times to play CD's in the player, but all it ever does is skip and act up. This weekend, a guy handed me a CD that had over 100 songs on it that were MP-3 formatted. The cd plays flawlessly in it....WTF Has anybody else had this happen?? How do I convert my 'homemade' CD's to MP-3 format????

RE: Strande Phenom....................
Do yourself a favor and use iTunes. The software is free and it works way better than any of the other "freeware" CD ripping software. I tried several of the freeware options but found most were real bad and finding the CD/track info on their online database, so you end up having to type all the information yourself. I finally broke down and decided to try iTunes....downloaded and installed the current version, went into the advanced options and changed to the default output format for imported songs to MP3....in just over 10 days I imported over 200 CDs and even some older vinyl albums that I had already on the hard drive from a WAV editor. Just finished all the imports and a backup of my iTunes library last night. Now this week I'll be creating some mixes to burn to CD for use on my 08 Ultra.
Don't know if I will ever buy music from the iTunes online store, but it sure works good for ripping CDs to MP3. By the way, in the 200+ CDs that I loaded CD and track information was found online for every single one of them.

Saw this on the form from an earlier post. Go to www.harley-davidson.com/cp/moar/en/software.asp. This is a site that has the info on how to upgrade your radio software.

Hi There
Outlaw is correct--but I have good reason to believe that if you goto the HD site, you will put thae latest software in your radio-which I do not believe "backfills" any you have missed. The early 06's had a known skipping problem that is easily fixed by loading the software version V8.9 (Should be known as V8.09) If you goto www.hogtunes.com/softwareupdates.htm you can read the page, do the download, and using the pdf thats in there determine which software is in your radio. Assuming its V6.80 or V7.80--if you do the V8.9 you will be good to go
Please feel free to email or call me with any questions
"Advanced Audio" yeah right......

RE: Strande Phenom....................
I've got an '06 SG that had a real problem with skipping for years. I even took it to the dealer, TWICE, but they told me each time they couldn't reproduce the problem. I read about the software update on this forum last week and downloaded the latest software to my HK stereo. Went out for a ride over the weekend and lo and behold, no skipping. Not once. Hopefully that's the end of that problem. Thanks to the members who pointed me in the right direction.

Use I-Tunes or Windows Media Player to "rip" the songs from your CD's to mp3 or WMA format. Use a 96kbs setting. Then burn yourself an mp3 disc. I can typically fit 10-12 full CD's on a disc.
