User Guide
Snaptune and Instant Radio cannot run at the same time. If you wish to run the Instant Radio application to tune FM radio stations,
you need to select “Shut down Snaptune One Now”. This will interrupt any recordings you have scheduled. Notice that you can
enable Snaptune One record engine to re-start when ever you exit the Instant Radio application. This makes it easy to temporarily
switch from Snaptune to Instant Radio and back again.
