How to Transfer Songs From an iPod to a Sirius S50

Purchased music from the iTunes Store on your iPod device can be transferred to your Sirius S50 media player when converted to the MP3 format. The standard format for iTunes Store purchases is M4A, which is free of Digital Rights Management and allows audio encoding through iTunes, according to Apple. The Sirius S50 device is able to play WMA and MP3 audio files and uses My Sirius Studio, a media manager available at the Sirius site.
