Ability to record and buy Satellite Radio broadcasts?
A loyal Orbitcast reader pointed me to a wonderful source for speculation. Aparently there's a survey (see the screen capture to your right) being done on select XM Subscribers regarding some future features XM is considering.
The questions listed are very interesting indeed:
"Ability to record XM programming, then move it to a PC for subsequent listening, burning to a CD, or downloading to an MP3 player."
Hmmm.. this smells exactly of the famed XM Patent from a little while ago. Imagine being able to save (time-shift) songs for free onto your XM2go device, and for a fee you can listen to them on your computer or MP3 player (or Skypod?).
Very exciting.

How would you be able to save songs from the MyFi other than the obvious where you can record on it? I like to record O&A daily, but I don't see anyway of saving particular shows, is there a USB cable that I didn't get with mine, or am I just stupid?

I'm thinking this is in reference to a potential new product, no the MyFi? I took the poll this morning and it was definitely gauging responses for people's current receivers and what they'd like in new products. I think XM (and Sirius) are definitely both heading in the save/buy mp3 direction.

MP3 is a logical progression for satellite receivers. If XM and SIRIUS actually realize the potential for Satellite Podcasting (http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/2005/03/clear_channel_w.html) then we're even better off!
