Using Helix with a PC

DRAFT DRAFT

Transferring Between PC and Helix

To transfer a track or playlist from your PC to your Helix, drag and drop the track or playlist

into the “transfer” pane on the lower right-hand side of the XM+Napster application.

You can only transfer songs that you have purchased from XM+Napster or songs that you

have ripped from your audio CDs.

WARNING: Though you can transfer non-MP3/WMA files to your Helix using Windows, those

files cannot be played as audio files. Furthermore, do not attempt to format the Helix storage;

doing so may cause damage to the device.

Playlists

You can manage your Helix playlists using XM+Napster. Simply dock your Helix, then select

Library / Helix / Playlists. You can create new playlists, or edit or delete any playlists that

are stored in your Helix.

You can also create and manage playlists for any music content stored on your PC. Select

Library / My Playlists.

To add a track to any playlist, select that track on the main pane and drag it to the playlist

name in the “Folder” pane. Alternatively, right-click on the track name, then select the playlist

you want to add the track to.

You can move a PC playlist onto your Helix by dragging that playlist name into the Library /

Helix / Playlists line. When you move tracks and playlists onto your Helix, you may have to

purchase that content from XM+Napster, if you have not done so already.
