Ipod/MP3 player advice?

Sorry to mither but can anyone recommend a make and model of MP3 player or ideally a specific Ipod that would be compatible with the basic RCZ stereo? You can probably tell I'm not sure of what the chuff I'm on about when it comes to these things, so if someone can help by recommending a particular product, that would be much appreciated! :thumbup:

Mine is a Philips but although it's very easy to use and ultra-reliable I haven't got around to connecting it to the RCZ :oops: as I keep it in my gym bag :lol: and tend to listen to the radio in the car as I'm usually only doing half-hour (apart from the current weather mayhem :thumbdown: ) journeys.

I've used an ipod classic 30GB too

Have to say, though, I prefer using a USB memory stick - you get all of the track info on the display (and it's much cheaper than an MP3 player). Also, I found the hard disk in my ipod occasionally skipped when I hit a bump.

I use an I-Pod Nano with the USB Cable.

Works perfect :eusa-whistle: ;) :thumbup:

I use a 30GB Ipod Classic too - works perfectly, with full control from the steering wheel.

I've also tried my 2nd generation 8GB Ipod classic and to my surprise that worked too - again with full control.

I've not experienced the ipod skipping when going over bumps in the road like Maf mentioned above.

Hi
I also prefer the usb memory stick route. I'm currently using a 16gb memory stick (3000 songs roughly). These can be had for £15 approx and are a cheaper option than maybe leaving an MP3 player in the car.
All artist and track info is available via the lower stalk on the right hand side of the steering column.

It really is easy :eusa-whistle:

Just remember to use the USB Cable and not the Jack :D

All can then be controlled from the Steering Wheel Stalk.

Enjoy.

I am that Convert

Plugged my ipod nano in today using the usb cable and everything works fine. Complete control from the steering wheel stalk and great sound out of the system. I was going to upgrade to the JBL option, but I am really gald I did not waste my money. Standard system is great.

Are you using the Jack and not the USB Cable :eusa-think:

This made a massive difference when I tried the i-pod :thumbup:

do you mean the aux port or is there a jack . as i have been useing the usb port so i could have control over the ipod touch but the software does not work with peugeot software in the car and when i ask peugeot about it they said apple will sort it, which i think is wrong i think peugeot should sort it out as it peugeot is in the wrong and apple ipod's do work . yes i have try the aux port i konw it not as good as the usb plus to change tracks you been to touch the ipod.

Ah well....at least you've tried :thumbup:

Not sure why you would think it's a Peugeot software fault though :eusa-think:

If the I-pod Touch doesn't work, then it doesn't work.

Solution: Get an I-pod Nano....they work great ;) :thumbup:

Another vote for the nano 3G...although my old Ipod Touch 2nd gen worked. I tend to use a USB stick though which just stays in the car.

I used to use my (5 year old) iRiver MP3 player but I found the player crashed when I'd forgotten to switch back to the satnav jukebox before switching off the engine. So instead I got one of these:

It's 32GB and can hold well over 5000 tracks plus, when it's plugged into the USB socket it only sticks out by about roughly 1cm.

Hello,

I have the new iPod Touch. When I connect it with the USB connection, there is a problem with the music. There are cuts every 20 seconds. When I listen the music with ear-phones everything is ok. It means that the problem is not coming from my iPod but only when I use a USB-cable. I have tried many USB-cables and I have always that problem.

Hello

Does anyone know if the Apple Lossless audio format works? As I have a 180GB Ipod that has all the albums as lossless and would be a PITA to recode.

Cheers

Stuart
