Would this even be possible though? For this to be legal, the artist needs to be paid a small royalty for every download of their song. However, if their songs are streaming, and XM has no way of tracking if, when, or how often you are converting a streamed song to mp3....how would they track and pay royalties?

  True, but I would be willing to pay more for an XM account to have the
  ability to (officially) yank music off of the stream for my library.   
  Of course it's hackable (everything is), but so are AAC's, and Apple
  hasn't yanked iTunes.  And, being able to go straight from air to iPod
  to iTunes would be terrific.
