Storing iTunes Tagging information
iTunes Tagging lets you tag songs heard on SiriusXM channels. Using this unit in conjunction with an optional SiriusXM Tuner and a Tagging compatible iPod/iPhone, you can tag the music that you listen to, then transfer the tag information to your iPod/iPhone, and later, when your iPod/iPhone is connected to iTunes, you can preview, buy and download your tagged songs. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the Tagging compatible iPod/iPhone.
The mindicator will light when a song playing on a SiriusXM channel has tag information available.
Press and hold VIEW k/Tag for at least 2 seconds to save its tag information.
If no iPod/iPhone is connected, “TAG COUNT X” is displayed (X is the total amount of the tag information stored in this unit).
