RE: MP3 Player Recommendations
WARNING WARNING WARNING
I have the HD MP3 player that mounts on the bars ('05 Ultra).
A1 GID SD card only hold ~500 MB / 110 files or songs.
That system cannot read/write anything more due to FAT restrictions.
It sucks - and I tried a 2 gig card - same thing - 500MB / 110 files max.
Get somebody elses MP3. The HD one just plain SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Unless somebody knows a trick??????????????????

I have the Garmin 2730 which provides GPS and MP3 for music and audio. Works great. Set you destination, play your tunes and it will cut in when you need to change your route!!!
Great stuff, get one on eBay for the best price.

I'm interested in the Garmin Rollon, how did you mount it? Pics if you can.

I just checked one of my SD's and it has 973 mb of files and my HD player sees them all. Even if your only getting 110 files thats 110 x 3 to 4 min per song =4 to 6 hrs of play time before haveing to preform the dreaded task of swaping chips. I guess I don't feel your pain.

I would just be sure to get one of the smaller flash player ones. The larger ones with the hard drives hate heat and vibration. I just got back from a year of convoy security duty in Iraq. Nearly everyone who bought the big ones had them die from the heat and vibration of our Humvees and the guys who bought the nanos and shuffles had pretty good luck. The heat on a bike won't ever match what we had there, but the vibration might be pretty close.

RE: MP3 Player Recommendations
You may need to format your SD card to FAT32. When you load the SD card goto My Computer, goto the drive where the SD card is located then right click then choose format. Under the file system choose FAT32 and the smallest allocation unit possible (512 MB) then format, this will erase everything on the SD card so make sure you have the files backed up. This should give you more space out of your SD card. A 1 gig card should display at least 900 MB, if the format doesn't work then there is something wrong with the card.
