How to Record Delphi XM to Go to a Mac
The Delphi MyFi XM2Go Portable XM satellite radio receiver is a hand-held satellite radio device. The Delphi XM2Go can play satellite radio broadcasts, and it has a "line out" connector to attach to speakers, a stereo or other audio systems. You can connect the XM2Go to a Mac computer's "line in" port and capture the satellite radio streams. On a Mac, it is possible to capture any audio played through the operating system. This operation does require third-party software, but there are multiple shareware products available.
