The thing about it is the mp3 files can only be accessed on the unit while you have an active subscription to XM. And you can not take the mp3 songs off the device.
It doesn't work that way. You can't take the Songs off the Inno at all, its a non-standard format and there is no way to access them. Also, once the Inno's subscription is over (you don't renew with XM) the songs are deleted.
XM's original answer was those same songs would be heard during the subscription period, they were just allowing you to hear them when you wanted rather than when they decided to play them.
I see it more like the yahoomusic method, you pay a monthly fee, get to listen to your favorites anytime you want and once you stop paying they get erased.
if it's locked down like that - they still made a lawsuit out of it?
first reaction, just wow
second reaction, it figures
I guess it's better to save your money and goto a concert instead - at least the artist did some work in front of you - then again you could go broke every time a concert came to town.

Your attention please:
I can't make a mixtape of stuff I hear on the terrestrial radio stations, but satellite is okay?
Recording satellite radio on your receiver is okay?, keeping mp3 and wma files on it are also okay?
I guess I have to thank XM (Sirrius) and Universal - kinda? maybe? - for setting an example?
Did RIPAA just get one of it's arms busted? or is that HYDRA HEAD?
