Sounds like the guys over at XM are tired of everyone else increasing their revenues with downloads, so hey, why not jump in! A most recent letter sent to select current customers requested answering a survey. Here’s a snippett:
WHAT IT IS
- Using a new XM Digital Music Player, this service provides effortless creation of your own music library from both your satellite radio service and/or an online music download service containing over 1 million songs.
- Music can be stored on your XM Digital Music Player, download to your computer or transferred to your MP3 player, and played for an unlimited amount of timeÆ’_”as long as you continue your monthly subscription.
- You can create playlists (combining XM content + downloaded tracks), organize them and play as often as you like.
- If you cancel your monthly subscription, the music you stored on XM or in other locations will no longer be accessible unless you resubscribe.
HOW IT WORKS
- Only works when using the playback mode — When you hear a song that you like, simply press the save button to store the song into your leased memory. No need to worry about when you press the store buttonÆ’_Ã? the song will save from the beginning.
- Or search the online music library for specific songs.
- Amount of music you can store in your leased memory is dependant upon the specific XM Digital Music Player you purchase (typically 10 - 30 hours).
What could this mean?
