XM planning online subscription music service and an XM Digital Music Player?

Is XM getting ready to roll out some sort of new online music subscription service? Laurie D. over at TUAW received a reader survey from XM asking what she thought about a potential new service that would let you create "your own music library from both your satellite radio service and/or an online music download service", music which could be then be s

tored on your XM Digital Music Player, downloaded to your PC, or transferred to an MP3 player.

Sounds like they're trying to merge XM's satellite radio service with a new subscription-type service similar to Napster To Go, Yahoo Music Unlimited, and Real's Rhapsody To Go, and they ask whether for an extra $9.95 a month you would want to be able to automatically download any song you hear on the radio at the press of a button and have access to an online music library. Ten bucks a month sounds a little steep, especially considering that the regular XM radio service is only $12.99, you can only collect as much music as your XM Digital Music Player can hold (between 10 to 30 hours), and you lose access to your collection if you stop subscribing, but we like where they're headed.
