TimeTrax: Record MP3s from XM Radio

Friday, August 13, 2004

It was only a matter of time: NeroSoft TimeTrax is a new app that lets you rip songs from the XM-PCR XM radio adapter for your PC into MP3 files. $20 to register.

Now, from a technical perspective this is no great feat -- as I've written before, there are lots of third-party software clients for the XM-PCR, and the only thing stopping any of them from adding recording (since they all have access to the audio bitstream) has been a kind of gentlemen's agreement between XM and the PCR hacking community that the hackers wouldn't make life complicated by doing something that forced lawyers to get involved.
