I wouldn't put anything past the RIAA, "Nobody expects the RIAA". I think
the difference between radio to cassette and XM to mp3 is an issue of
quality. The record companies don't care if you've got a fm
modulated/squeezed copy of a song, but they do take issue when you've got a
full digital quality no hiss pristine able to be copied indefinitely mp3
version of it.
I just don't think it will happen commercially because the RIAA will try to
exert it's influence on whatever company tries. If apple were to try, they
might try messing with the iTunes service or some such shenanigans.
