Request: Save Playing Sirius (or XM) song to a text file

I'd like to see the option of saving the currently playing Sirius song to a text file that keeps getting appended every time a new song is added. The text file can be on the root of the C:\ or in the centrafuse folder and would let you save songs that you like to a list that can later be used to purchase from iTunes or what-not.

There's not really a spot on the satellite radio screen for a new button so perhaps clicking the track info up top or holding down the favorites button or something?

could be done, but not allowed in our current agreement with XM or Sirius...

you can thank the RIAA

we cannot associate any music with song information, but with a plugin you could pull this data from the main title and when a button was clicked or do something creative....

Hmm.. Interesting. They seem to allow it for hd radio as I hear "iTunes tagging" being pushed on commercials. I wonder if they're just putting the screws to satellite.

So, if a plugin were to pop up allowing something like this it wouldn't necessarily be frowned upon?

we wouldn't support it and it would not be affialiated with flux and we don't suggest it, probably wouldn't want it on our forums either...

just saying it would be possible...

also things might change, XM/Sirius merging, hearing some good things with some options we might have to legally improve functionality....

we don't plan to get suid like TimeTrax, no thank you...
