XM+Napster.

“XM+Napster Install” option from the main menu to view the installa-
tion menu.
3. Start the installation by clicking on the “Install XM+Napster” button. Fol-
low the onscreen directions to complete the process.

restarts, launch XM+Napster, plug your SKYFi
3
into your PC using the USB cable, and you’re
ready to go.
Warning: make sure you use the supplied
USB cable - other cables may not allow your
SKYFi
3 to charge or communicate with your PC.
You can connect your SKYFi 3 through a powered
USB hub. Do not use an unpowered USB hub.

ever, you will be unable to use XM+Napster to transfer and organize your
files.
