Those remotes, flash drives and cel phones have a way of finding cubby holes and places to hide on boats, at least you can call your phone to find it. . . . the other stuff shows up when you pull out cushions or the bottom of closets to clean. . . .months later.

If you "ain't got tunes", you have the sound of nature and peace and quiet, the reason many of us bought our boats.
If I want "tunes", I can go to a restaurant, gym, or pump gas into my car. Any of the many places where people force you to listen to music you'd rather not hear. Or, I can go home and listen to my choice of music.
There's a stereo on my boat but it's seldom used.
To answer dvan's question, a USB port allows you to insert a "thumb drive" (essentially a solid state hard drive) to play music transferred from your computer. Some stereos accept an SD card which I believe is better because it doesn't stick out of the stereo.

I do most of my own maintenance and upgrades and enjoy the music while I work. Also, it's nice to sometimes cruise from the FB with a little Jimmy Buffett playing in the background. To each his own.
I just added the Blackberry Bluetooth Audio Gateway. It allows you to wirelessly connect any bluetooth audio device to any stereo with an audio input. I use it with my iPhone. The audio gateway is plugged into the stereo in the salon and this stereo feeds all the speakers on the boat. I can have my iPhone on the flybridge and the music will play through the salon stereo and all the speakers on the boat. The range is pretty good and the sound quality is great. It is nice having the music source with you to select songs as the interface is way better than any of the built-in iPod interfaces I have seen. I paid less than $40 for the device so the price is hard to beat.

The Fusion brand of equipment is top notch. I have one in the center console and it is a great unit. Ipod slides into a water proof sleeve, all is good. Has a great wired remote and you can add 2 extra zones.
