For those of you that listen to music...
Do you use iPhone / iPod? If so, where / how do you mount it (arm, handlebars w/ mount, etc...)?

iPod shuffle attached to the back of the helmet - on the adjusting strap. Earbud cable wrapped through and around vents.

Iphone in a jersey pocket. Headphone wire run under the jersey. Only put in the right ear bud with music barely audible at speed--just enough to give me a boost when I need it.

Do not use an ipod nano /touch... they don't like getting wet... even a bit of sweat on your fingertips... ask me how I know.

iPhone in the beltpack clipped to the backside portion of the waistband. Earbuds cord runs up the back and each bud is twisted once around the helmet strap so the wind doesnt pull the cord to one side making it feel like it's tugging (saves fussing with it every 5min in the crosswinds).
It's my guess that mounting the iPhone to bike will result in early failure due to the vibrations and sharp movements.

While on the subject of music while riding. What do you all think about a guy who plays music, loudly, from handlebar mounted speakers. He recently joined our informal group and he is annoying everyone not just with the volume of his music but with his music selection. We normally ride on backroads and quiet residential areas so the music blaring from his bike is jarring at best.
What do you guys think?

Little square iPod in a ziplock in my left jersey pocket with cord running under jersey. Right earbud in, and left earbud hangs on collar.
I used to use my iPhone, but it ended up getting caked with sweat and grime even in a ziplock bag. (just from stuff running down the headphone cable). I really don't see how anyone has any type of music player without having it in a bag. Maybe it's the humidity here or something. But if I just clipped my ipod to my jersey strap, I'd expect it to not work after 3 or 4 rides.

If you guys are looking for some cool cycling music, check this website out. Great tunes mixed with cycling / race sounds.

... or just explain that it interferes with verbal signals in the group
... and then ride him into a ditch.
The only guy I tolerate blasting music is the guy at the Hilly Hundred who has a plywood jam box strapped on the back of his cargo bike, and cranks Smoke On The Water while climbing a 20% grade. He earned it.
