XM Radio introduced the Pioneer Inno to the market at the beginning of 2006. It plays live XM Satellite Radio content without needing your car or home receiver cradle. On top of that, the Inno can record up to 50 hours of programming. The first version could only handle five hours. The portable XM receiver also includes a MP3 playback. The Pioneer Inno runs between $200 and $400.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Go online in search of an XM Radio Pioneer Inno. Many sites sell the device for about $200. You can also buy one at XM retailers.
Step2
Learn more about the Pioneer Inno. For instance, once you've recorded content onto the Pioneer Inno, you can organize it into playlists. You can add in WMA and MP3 files uploaded from your computer.
Step3
Become familiar with the device. The Inno has a bright 1.67-inch screen to display your content and playlists.
