Anyway to tell if you can capture songs from this and put them on your hardisk, or would that be considered illigal?

You must also be near a south facing window. How critical is this? My PC is in a room with west, north and east facing windows. And, anyone have any idea how long is the cord between the antenna and the receiver?

Wouldn't it be better to just have the version where you can put in your car and take it out and put it in your home instead of having a version where you have to have it connected to the radio?
