MP3

[Blackwillow]

Hey All Happy Thanksgiving,
Just got back from a ride at 34F pepper. Got a lot of weird looks but in my head if the road is dry, temps are negotiable.

Just installed a set of intercom head sets to the sweet and myself. what a difference as opposed to turning around and shouting thru wind noise as to where her highness would like to turn next. (Dangerous at best).

Got the blue tooth app to forward the phone to the intercom and works great as tested, now need to find an MP3 player with blue tooth capability to listen to tunes on the road on my own . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Any suggestions on brand or model??

Have also found an air brush person to make the trike my own. Pics to follow.
Take care,

I use the aux plug in my MP3 that should be in the left front pocket, and then I turn on the radio and press the AUX button and it will come through the headphones or speakers. pepper

What kind of phone do you have?
On my android phone, I have a 32g flash card that holds a lot of music. If I can connect the phone by bluetooth for voice it will play music too. This may be the way your phone works, and if you get a call the phone will interrupt the music for the call.
I had an iPhone with 8gig of memory, and could put in a lot of music. I kept the quality rate pretty low - A real high quality of bitrate is lost with the noise from the wind, traffic and other background noise on a trike. Either AAC or Mp3 at 128kbs wil be more than enough quality for the helmet speakers and background noise on the trike.

Thanks Ozark, I actually have the Samsung android, my problem is I have not had the opportunity to down load any tunes to my phone as yet so I need to jump that hurdle first. So is this your assumption, based on your post or this is what you have achieved at this point. I appreciate your input and felt once the headset was paired with the phone it was for phone only. Like where you are going with this.
Take care.ThumbUp

Might depend on your phone and the receiving end of the Bluetooth signal. I have an HTC Inspire, and I can play music, get and make calls, get told where to go by the GPS app, play Pandora, I-heart radio, etc. with Bluetooth in the car.

On the trike- I can do all that above except the call/receive phone feature on the trike through the headphone jack, though I can hear the phone ring.

Oh, you may not want to go completely wireless - I power the phone from the bike when playing music so the battery doesn't get too low. Just playing music from the phone doesn't use too much power, but if using Pandora or other 'net based music service it may not last more than a few hours. And you are powering the BT signal also.
