Napster launches XM tie-in software

Napster and satellite radio company XM today provided the first glimpse of the results of their strategic alliance, announced in July.
XM’s 5m US subscribers can now grab a public beta release of the XM+Napster software that connects Internet-streamed radio broadcasts to digital music downloads.
The application tunes into and plays over 80 XM Radio Online-hosted music channels and allows listeners to buy songs from Napster that they’ve just heard on the radio. XM subscribers can pay a monthly subscription fee for unlimited-but-tethered downloads or they can purchase individual songs on a one-off basis.
