XM Satellite Radio and Samsung Wednesday unveiled a line of MP3 players that will be compatible with the radio network.
The three players will allow users to listen to satellite radio and play MP3s on the go.
"XM's partnership with Samsung will deliver a portfolio of portable audio products that will fundamentally change the way people listen to music. You can play all of your favorite songs in your MP3 collection, and you can listen to live XM Satellite Radio, which introduces you to new artists and old favorites from all kinds of music genres, plus live sports, breaking news, stand-up comedy, and much, much more," XM Chief Executive Hugh Panero said in a news release.
