To all GM forum cruisers,

A great feature would be to allow recording of AM/FM/XM radio programs. The idea would be to mimic what a DVR does for a television. In this way, I could record a number of favorite radio programs and play them back later.

I'm guessing there are numerous legal issues that would be raised from both DVR manufacturers as well as radio stations and their advertisers, but if possible I think this feature would be a very useful and cool upgrade to the system. :)

I thought we could...i've only ripped cd's to the HDD. I knew it wouldnt allow transfer of my ipod songs, but I think it lets me it they are on a USB drive. Never tried to record radio, but I will certainly take your word for it.

The system allows you to buffer up to an hour of the station you're currently listening to. I'd like to be able to schedule the system to record a station at a certain time, ala Tivo, etc. The system already has all the parts it needs. It's just a matter of stringing them together and jumping through all the legal hoops. (I know, easier said than done!)
