Wired News: Homemade Sat Radio Software Bump

Wired News: Homemade Sat Radio Software Bump: "35-year-old computer programmer from Ottawa, Ontario, wrote a piece of software that let him record the show directly onto his PC hard drive while he snoozed. The software, TimeTrax, also neatly arranged the individual songs from the concert, complete with artist name and song title information, into MP3 files.
