    Default What Device for Music?

    Hi Folks,
    i used an IPod 5 for storing music to listen to "Snoopy", our'14 RTS.
    Well, I broke it😢
    Just wondering what's a good replacement?
    Thanks Folks,

    Default iPhone

    I use my iPhone 6s connected via Bluetooth to the Sena in my helmet. If you had the music on your iPod in the iCloud you just connect the new phone to the same iTunes account and be off and running. I don't use the system in the motorcycle because nobody else wants to hear my music, just as much as I don't want to hear theirs!

    I have an 2016 RT-S with the USB cable in the trunk and BT dongle in the frunk. I use an iPod 5gen and run it through the Spyder. That way I can see what's playing and change playlists vs. doing Bluetooth direct to the helmet. Got the iPod on ebay cheap.

    I use an older iPod nano. They still make them, and I'd buy another if this one were to die. I like the idea that there's nothing to hook up up set up once it's in place, and (at least on the 2014's) the Apple models are the only players that can be managed through the handlebars.

    Default iPod 4

    I have an iPod 4 but it's not compatible so you can't change songs from the handlebars.
    i also use the dongle and Sena 20 headsets so nobody hears anything but my singing!
    LUCKY PEOPLE!
    I think I'll just get another Ipod5....
    Thanks everyone!

    I've got some kind of an IPod...
    It's about the size of a Saltine cracker, and had an 8Gb capacity...
    It holds well over 800 of the loudest, meanest, and most unfit songs ever performed!

    I don't know why it hasn't committed suicide yet...

    Ditto and you can listen to pod casts such as Ted Talks. Good stuff.

    Guess I'm antiquated but much happier using an old fashion MP3 player. Sandisk the size of a book of matches with hundreds of songs...

    I have a memory card in the Garmin 590 paired with the Sena 20s headset, and listen to all 1881 songs off of that.

    The good news about the cloud is it can hold all of my 15000 + songs. Only problem is that in really remote areas I have to listen my self sing!

    Wink Garmin GPS

    I use the Garmin GPS on my 2016 RT-S or a cheap mp3 player from e-bay connected to the micro USB in the trunk. Rock ON!
