I like to listen to music, but I'd like to be able to turn it down or completely off when needed. I have a slider that controls the volume, but I struggle with my glove to find the slider. Also, if I keep the IPOD in my jacket to protect it from rain then I cannot hit any control button to turn it on or off. Some people mount the music devices on their bikes, but how are they protected from the rain? I get so irritated when the IPOD charges runs out on a long day of riding. Is there a way on the bike that I can charge the IPOD? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I use a PDA under the clear cover of my tank bag. I "modded" the left side inner with a 12volt weather proof cover. Works great.

I keep my ipod in a body glove case and strap it to the top of the triple clamp so that I can control volume and songs I want. If it look like Im going to get wet I simply take it off the clamp and drop it into my jacket. As far as battery life you can get the car charger for it and wire it into your bike. It works great............

I buy cheapo Ipod shuffles... I just lost one on the last ride with busafett and LCB... I usually keep it in my tank bag in the map section so I can still hit the buttons... the only thing to remember is to zip it up so the ipod doesn't go screaming out when you break the sound barrier.

I'm looking into having my Ipod Mastered at a studio. So all the albums are the same volume no matter if it's a Pantera song or The Beatles. $75.
That'll take care of the volume issue.
Mount it way under the windscreen. Cut just the very tip of your index finger glove off. If you can stand having a finger exposed of coarse.

I mounted a set of cheap airline headphone speakers in my helmets (ebay .99 for 5 sets) and ran the connector to the front. put a piece of velcro in the front forward of your chin. i bought the new small ipod shuffle and velcro it in right there. it works great. this way there are no wires in the way and it is all contained in the helmet unaffected by the weather. i will post pics when i get to my home computer.

Dude, buy the Etymotic Research ER-6i Isolator ear buds.
Then buy this completely waterproof Ipod case and mount it under the winscreen.
Run an extra fixed 1/8" headphone wire from the case, under your tank and pop it up between your seat and tank. Then just plug in. Wires all hidden and out of the weather for the most part.
