SIRIUS XM Radio and Pioneer Electronics
unveiled the new XMp3 wearable satellite radio and MP3 player today.
The XMp3 is the lightest and most compact wearable live satellite radio
and the first with simultaneous multi-channel recording capability. It
also features a Programming Guide providing subscribers more ways than
ever to discover and record their favorite content as well as the “Best
of SIRIUS.” The XMp3 has a micro-SD card slot for additional MP3
storage and includes the XM2go Music Manager software for organizing
content.
The
XMp3 features the ability to record up to 10 hours of individual songs
from its live music channels. Listeners can schedule up to five
channels of recording simultaneously, allowing them to store up to 75
hours of sports, talk and commercial-free music programming. In
addition, the XMp3 includes an auto-record feature that automatically
stores up to 30 hours of listener’s favorite content.
The XMp3
includes a DVR-like feature that automatically buffers the most recent
30 minutes of live programming so listeners can easily replay what they
just heard. The radio allows the listener to pause, fast forward and
rewind through the buffered content. Listeners will never miss a beat,
sports play or news item again.
MP3 files
can also be stored on the XMp3 radio and managed with the XM2go(R)
Music Manager software. With the XM2go Music Manager, listeners can
easily organize their saved content plus their personal MP3 music
collection on the XMp3. The XMp3 includes a slot for a micro-SD card
that makes it possible for listeners to add and enjoy even more of
their personal MP3 collection.
The
XMp3 includes the first portable satellite radio Program Guide that
displays broadcasts on each channel up to two weeks in advance. Also
included is a Highlights feature which spotlights programming,
hand-picked by deejays. Listeners can scroll through the Program Guide
or use the Highlights feature to view upcoming broadcasts, select a
program to learn more, schedule a recording or choose to be alerted
about future broadcasts.
The XMp3 is compact and lightweight at 3.1 ounces and features a large
easy-to-read screen for use on the go or in the car, home or office.
Manufactured
by Pioneer, the XMp3 is available for a suggested retail price of
$279.99. The new XM2go Music Manager and a variety of new accessories
are also available.
