XM releases a program schedule. Granted, they don't release their playlists in advanced (that'd be an insane ammount of information). Also, obviously, the signal sends the current program information with it. What I'd like to see is a plugin that might be able to evolve, such as the following: 1) retrieve the on-line stream - allows you to listen at around 128Kbps and it also provides you the current program/song info. This is the functionality that I believe Windows XP MCE has. Anyone besides me seen the interface? It's pretty clean, and informative 2) retrieve the satellite stream - Obviously, this will be techology dependant, but maybe someday in the future we could hook up a receiver. Or maybe have some form of card or box that plugs directly in to the antenna and the backed. 3) record - Right now, I don't care if it can timeshift or not. I'd be happy if I could simply listen to it in realtime and not worry about recording or timeshifting. Thanks!
