If you don't find one on Ebay I have one I'd like to sell. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ann Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 8:54 PM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: Re: XM PCR
They did, but you can still activate/reactivate an XM PCR unit if necessary. It is, as far as I know, the most accessible satellite radio unit, and if I can find one cheap enough, I might just get myself an extra unit on Ebay, sometime. . I like being able to know what's playing when I'm not online, and since I'm still on dial up, by the time I get online to look at: www.xm411.comm the song has changed. But, that site does work very well for me. ~Ann ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wes Derby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

The creator mainly did this for the concerts that used to air on XM Live, but the RIAA freaked out because they figured this would lead to more music being available for file-sharing and felt XM wasn't doing enough to protect copyrights and such. For those who want to see what's playing though, go to www.xm411.com. The MacroMedia Flash movie thing seems to be mostly accessible. I've used it successfully. On a sidenote, as an XM subscriber, I've suggested that they do like the DMX Music service that was on my digital cable used to do...If you clicked on a channel, it'd show a list of the last ten songs that had played on that channel. Since then, Comcast has switched to Music Choice, whose site, last time I checked, is pretty uninformative. For those who ARE XM subscribers, I made my suggestion of showing the last ten songs on each channel to the head of music programming, Jon Zellner...Very cool guy. If you're an XM subscriber who uses a screenreader and would like to see this, either use the contact links at xmradio.com, or email Mr. Zellner at [EMAIL PROTECTED] VP of Programming, Eric Logan (known to us O&A fans as E-Lo) at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit my Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/wesderby ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Oeser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

This may not be a problem at aall but something worth checking on. I enjoy mine. It is the best designed digital radio for us if it is satellite or any other of digital radio. They won't make the others where we can see what song is playing.
