iTunes Tagging
The iTunes Tag button on this unit allows you to
tag songs you like that are broadcast by HD
Radio stations. Information about these tagged
songs is stored by the receiver and transferred to
your iPod. When you connect your iPod to your
computer, iTunes automatically presents songs in
a new Tagged playlist so you can preview, buy,
and download them. iTunes Tagging is a great
way to discover new music, and add it to your
collection!
Using iTunes Tagging
You can save the name of a song broadcast on an
HD Radio station to this unit with a few easy
steps.
After transferring the song information to the
connected iPod using this unit, sync your iPod to
your computer. These songs will show up in a
“Tagged” playlist in iTunes, enabling easy
preview or purchase of songs.
