Stereo junkies,
 

what's the best performing and looking way to get skip free music: Satellite or MP3 players? I want to utilize as much of the Clarion gear in the boat as possible.

Bruce...:D

Bruce, I got my Clarion out!!!! Clarion=Skip

Pionner all the way ! Mp3 single cd player installed 2 weeks ago. Dealer garanted no skiping or money back. I made it skip hitting a wall of 6 foot of water at 60 mph and with a 45 degrees angle of attack... Otherwise, nothing makes that babe skip. Also- 4 x 50 watt mossfet built-in amp.

A good quality CD MP3 Changer will also be much more resistant to skipping than a head unit. Sony has one with ESP that has a memory buffer that stores 12 seconds forward to eliminate the skipping and it works. I doubt it could be outfitted to Clarion unless its a FM modulation unit though..

I've got a 12 disc changer as well. I don't know the exact buffer time it has, but it skips. I also think the "no moving parts" concept is a good thing.

Clarion sells a head unit with digital display for satellite. I suppose I could change to it and the FM modulate an MP3 player into it. That all seems so 70's though. I also looked at the music kegs. They still have a HD moving around reading the data so I don't know if it would hold up to the abuse of frequent wave launches...:rolleyes:

ahh, but you still have a drive bouncing back and forth...

Some of the new Sony head units have memory stick capabilities not much storage but a sure way for no skips

My satalite has never skipped.

Hate to pay the monthly fee in December:D

Who needs to listen to music in a go fast with two big block screaming in your ears!

That's just it. I record the 502's at WOT then play it back while i'm anchored or at the dock. Great gas mileage that way...

outlaw, I shoud do that. (thinking to self "How pitiful is that, dont have the gas $ for a V6!!!)

Re: Stereo junkies,
 

I have used pioneer for years, they rarely skip and hold up great.

But my 302 has a clarion with the remote on the dash, the cd was not working when I bought it , I will have a new m335 Clarion Monday from UPS, I hope i did not make a mistake?
I liked the idea of keeping the remote on the dash.:D :D

I installed kenwood mp3 player (music keg) No skipping with lots of music at finger tip. Look at kenwoods site and also check out phatnoise.com

But will the hard drive in these "music Keg" foremat units hold up to the abuse of offshore running? :confused:
