There are many options to use on the Goldwing 1800 platform. Probably the most reliable and best service comes from Bikemp3. They offer two models which vary in price with the basic unit (which I own) and the deluxe version. Features are:

How to Rip MP3's from CD's
With Windows Media Player and the CD/DVD drive on your computer you can "rip" all your music CDs to MP3 files. Just select the songs you want, and click on the top settings to rip to mp3 format.
Consider ripping to the WMA format instead of mp3. It's accepted by most MP3 players and can allow your device to store almost twice as much music. The quality is good enough that you'ld have to be an audio engineer to tell the difference.
Noise from MP Player -- Problem with noise while riding and listening to your iPod when connected to auxiliary power outlet. Purchase and install (10 min in total) a Ground Loop Isolator from EC and your PROBLEM IS GONE!!!
