ok, back to music, but still with technology

Talking about to services I don’t even have, but though this was fairly cool. XMRadio is getting out of the 90’s one-line-text display. Their new interface has a real live graphical interface and even has previews of what on other channels so you don’t have to miss what’s going on. Also, taking a cue from TiVo, it records the past 60 minutes of whats been on so you can pause and re-listen to what was on. Fairly cool, good step forward for radio.
Actually, what they need to add to this and actually make more $, allow you to buy the song that’s playing, download it, sync it back to you computer to download and burn, much like the new iPod Touch, iPhone, and Zune. Also add a larger hard drive so you can use the device to play your own music. Hell, just make an iPod with XMRadio already.

Cool idea but I do need to point out that most people using XM or Sirius are listening while driving. I submit that giving them a bunch of graphics and options while they pilot a motor vehicle may not be the greatest idea ever.

Hmm, this is true. Raleigh doesn’t need any worse drivers.
