tivo for satellite / internet streaming radio?

[Jeff]

Anyone have a tivo-like solution for either satellite or streaming internet radio where if you catch the tail end of a song that catches your ear you can go back and listen to the whole song? (this isn't built in to satellite radio, is it?)

The more expensive Sirius and XM receivers have it.

Now that is pretty cool - might have to look into joining this century.

I've been streaming itunes stations more and more, but frequently want to hear what I just missed when I catch an interesting song ending hitting play after talking to someone or jumping up to grab something from the printer. (I think they're really missing the boat by not having all the streaming stations playlists keyed so you could hit a button in itunes to instantly buy the song you've just heard all or part of without any fuss involved... a bit of a distraction to have to note the title and then go searching for it in the separate store tab.. oddly you can't drag the song info to the search or store box or even copy and paste it (it won't let you highlight the song title/artist text to copy it...) so you have to type it in manually from the scrolling stream info; I bet they could have a ton more song sales if they keyed their streams into the itunes store)

Yeah, I'm sitting here bouncing on my fingers, itching to get my hands on one of those - but waiting, because I'm getting a whole new car this year, and money spent now makes no kind of sense. (I don't want/need it in the house. We're not Radio People in the house.)

People have set up web sites for Sirius where they log every song playing. So you can look at a grid and see everything now playing. I think they do it by monitoring radios that have a USB connection. As usual, the peeps are ahead of the actual companies in providing info online. They also built a better online player for the channels that are streamed, and a song search tool. Here's one grid, there are others I think: http://www.itsonsirius.net/

I haven't kept up with the latest, but this site used to have it for Sirius. Checkout the stuff at the bottom on the knowledgebase, under "Digital Expert Network":

But by far the most up to date info is in the forums, not the wiki, same site.
Another site I used to visit... http://www.dogstarradio.com/
And this one comes up on Quantcast*... http://siriusbuzz.com/

For XM the main place to go is http://xmfan.com/ ... maybe http://www.xm411.com/

Or check out what the actual company websites have these days.

http://www.orbitcast.com/ covers both XM and Sirius.

*Quantcast. Seems like an interesting way to find links. Plug in one URL, and it gives you the most popular related URL's. Ad cookie data mining at work, I guess... http://www.quantcast.com/ ... the stripped down version I stumbled on is here... http://4.78.243.26/
