I been struggling with my rowe cd 100.. on you tube I saw and Ipod adapter conversion kit for a rowe cd100. Has anyone tried one and Im looking to purchase one. Let me know your experience with them.

Scroll down to new products. It's priced at $129.00 and says available now.

Cool. Thanks!!

30 pin...I'll have to dig up and old iPod or maybe that'll work with my second gen iPad. I really want to be able to use pandora etc with it so that for parties I don't need to worry about choosing hundreds of songs so play beforehand.

$140 seems a steep price to pay for that...but it seems like the only option.
 
I have one of these in my CD100. It does work as advertised. I have a 30gb ipod (older model) installed. The jukebox computer thinks it's still has the CD changer installed. 100 Cds at up to 99 tracks per CD.

As another option, you might also want to look into a Rowe Background Accessory board. There is one on ebay for $48 right now. It plugs into the amp, and allows another source to go through the amp.

I haven't hooked mine up yet, but, it is supposed to allow another source to play as background. If you pick a song, than that song would play instead. If you want to use Pandora, you really just need some other source (ipod, PC, etc) and you could use one of these boards. Connect in with RCA patch cords and you'd be all set.

I'm using a CDadapter to ipod and this board. I have a whole house audio system, and I'm going to use that as the background source. That still allows selections at the jukebox itself.

Just another thought.

It's an available option from Rowe. It was probably installed in a working jukebox - playing background music in addition to the selections. My guess they are parting it out. I guess you could call it a mod but really it's just a different configuration. The seller might have more info.

Interesting, thanks. Mine is actually a rockola rocket cd 100 so not sure that'll work. Thanks though, really appreciate the info

Edit: looks like mine may actually have a background setting...will need to dig into it.

So I found the background setting and plugged in my iPhone and played pandora.

Two strange things...one, the volume for bgm needs to be set via the service mode which means you can't just adjust 'on the fly'. Two, there is a lot of static, popping etc using this method.

Any ideas? Thanks
 
I'd defer to Ken Layton. He knows far more than I ever will about Rowe machines.
 
I figured it out. For some reason it was only doing it with my iPhone 5...even in airplane mode. I grabbed an older deactivated iPhone and it works fine. No static. Weird.
