Record individual radio songs to MP3 player

Engadget published a short writeup I filed today that broke some pretty interesting news:
TimeTrax, the company that lets you record and time-shift your XM or Sirius Radio satellite subscriptions, announced the TraxCatcher, a device that lets you record over-the-air FM radio, capture songs as MP3s, and create a free music library. It should work for talk radio programs as well.
This will be the first device that lets you record over-the-air FM radio and capture individual songs.
The RIAA may not like it, but given the long history of people recording over-the-air FM broadcasts onto cassette tape, it's hard to see Congress stepping in and making the practice illegal.
