Question Music

Looking at the HD Boom audio speakers, wanting to hook in a Sony walkman to they speakers. I seen alot of the apples used. I want to be able to download music from disks or other sites, not pay on Itunes, plus Sony alot cheaper. What are your opions on the set up?

You just need a small amp that has a 1/8" (headphone type) input. Then you can run anything you want into it through the headphone jack. There are tons of options. It all depends on how many watts you want and what other options you require.

if you're looking at the handlebar mounted boom setup, you aren't limited to ipod. anything with a mini plug will work. be it an mp3 player, or even a cell phone.

Just my $.02... I used to have an iPod, then had an issue with Apple so I swore them off and bought a Sony Walkman mp3. Needless to say, I now have an iPhone which I also use for tunes. The sound quality of the Walkman was extremely below that of the Apple products. As I said, this was just my opinion. The screen is also difficult to read on the Walkman
