Recording XM Radio Online
With a subscription to XM Online and Replay AV, you can record any programming broadcast over the Web. Subscriptions to XM Online are free if you already have XM service.
The available channels might be slightly different than what's available on your XM Satellite radio, but they usually match closely. Also, the quality of streamed music is 64 Kbps, which may not be nearly as good as what you can get by recording the XM Satellite signal.
Replay A/V can capture XM Radio broadcasts from the online streaming feeds made available to every XM Radio subscriber. No external hardware is needed!
When you sign up for XM Online, you'll choose a username and a password. You'll need these to use or Replay A/V to record.
Here's how to schedule a recording from the XM Radio Online:
- Click the Manual Add button.
- The Edit Show dialog appears with a blank show:
- Select Capture by Recording Audio Output.
- Change the Type to XM Online. The Edit Show screen changes to this:
- Enter the XM Channel to record.
- Enter your XM Online Login and Online Password. (Once you enter these, they are saved for future recordings.) The password can be up to 11 characters.
- Enter the Name of Show.
- Set the Audio Recording Method: choose Stereo Mix, Wave, Wave Out Mix, or What U Hear as the Recording Source. (If you've installed the Enhanced Sound Card Driver option, you should choose Enhanced Sound Card Driver instead.)
- Click the Schedule tab. Enter the time and days to record.
- Click OK.
The rest of the options are just like recording any other streaming broadcast with Replay A/V.
