MP3 format
Just an FYI
You guys do knowit makes a BIG difference on how the songs are RIPPED to MP3 format.
I know some people complain that their songs play no louder or better with either J&M or Hogtune speakers.
Well it probably is because of the way the MP3 was RIPPED in the first place.
Some of the MP3's I have were given to me and I can tell sometimes a HUGE difference.
On the songs I rip some of them play atleast THREE times louder than some of the ones given to me.
I forget what software I used once that actually let you make a song even louder.
Right now I used software from Creative Labs for my ripping.

RE: MP3 format
I use i-Tunes to convert all my CDs to MP3s. Then use Nero to burn them to CD (so far I don't want an MP3 player connected to my bike to worry about). When burning I define the CD as a data disk, then just load up a folder with albums or songs till I get close to 700 Mb. Then burn. I can barely run mine above half volume for fear of blowing the speakers.

RE: MP3 format
With my 07 Ultra I use Creative Labs software to RIP the songs from CD's to MP3's then copy
the MP3's to a CD using Windows Explorer as a data disk and also get close to 700 Mb per disk.
On my old 98 FLHTC I used a MP3 player cus all it had was AM/FW/Cassette.

RE: MP3 format
I use Roxio easy cd and dvd. Works great. It doesn't have a volume control but it burns them fast and good volume. Sounds much better than a radio, cleaner with more volume.

Windup08 you don't have to add a MP3 player to your bike, the HK radio in it now is a MP3 player. If you burn the songs in MP3 format you can play them on your bike with no additional mods. Been that way since 03.

Audio (MP3)
[ul][*]32 kbit/s — MW (AM) quality[*]96 kbit/s — FM quality[*]128–160 kbit/s — Standard Bitrate quality; difference can sometimes be obvious (e.g. bass quality)[*]192 kbit/s — DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) quality. Quickly becoming the new 'standard' bitrate for MP3 music; difference can be heard by few people.[*]224–320 kbit/s — Near CD quality. Sound is nearly indistinguishable from most CDs. [/ul]

RE: MP3 format
i use exact audio copy to rip my cds to mp3. has variable bit rate so you can choose the quality that you want, up to cd quality. course the higher quality you make it, the more space they take up, but you can still put several albums worth of music on one cd.
best thing, its freeware. the only downside is that because it is freeware, the documentation that comes with it is sparse. but there are several tutorials on the internet that explain how to set it up to get the highest quality mp3 possible.
