Default Sirius Menu Scan

Does anyone know if there is a way to listen to one Sirius station while scanning the song title info on all the other stations?

My son thought of this on the way home from the Islanders game tonight (yea.. they lost again).

Thoughts?

Not with a stock head unit, but some of the Sirius aftermarket units will do this.

The one feature I wish they had put on the Mygig is the ability to save favorite songs and alert you when they are playing. I had a cheap xm add-on receiver that did this, and it was great!

I personally really wish they had the heart button that the Stilletto has for Sirius. This way if there is a song that you like, you could hit the heart button and save a song on you hard drive and listen to it whenever.

The only reason I can see why they wouldn't want to include it is, if you accumulate 1000's of songson you HDD, I would assume you would be less inclined to renew your Sirius subscription. Personally I would never cancel since I am such a huge Howard Stern fan, but I am sure other people could take it or leave it.
