I made a disc with about 100 of my favorite songs (mp3). Disc is in the radio, so no cord needed. If I load the Zumo with music then I need a cord to hear it or go wireless to my headset. Either way cord or wireless for music from the Zumo, the sound quality is down imop.

Directions go to my Scala headset via bluetooth. Could do the same with music but the sound quality just isn't there in my opinion.

Poi loader
You also want to download and install "POI Loader". You you that to load all of your Points Of Interest and extra routes. You will set up a file structure on your PC and point to it when loading. You can only use one teir structure for folders. ex: Main folder - HD Dealers, Sub-folders - NC, SC, GA... They will show up on the Zumo SD card and can be located under "EXTRA".

4 GB of tunes is nice to have on longer rides.

If you are listening to music through a Zumo 550 using a wireless headset; the reason the sound qulity is not up to par is because the Zumo does not broadcast wireless in stereo. To get stereo reception you have two options. One is that you have to use a wire. The second option (if you want to go wireless) is to get a stereo 'dongle' to plug in to the Zumo's audio output port. Your Scala will then come through in stereo.

As suggested in an earlier reply, you should pick up a 2G SD card for your music. It will hold hundreds, if not thousands, of songs. The internal memory of the Zumo 550 will only hold around 10 to 20. Also, do not use an SD card larger then 2G as the Zumo will not recognize it (unless Garmin has issued new firmware to fix this problem but I don't think they have).
