Washington-based Time Trax Technologies announced Friday a product sure to catch the eye of many…and probably the RIAA, as well. The TraxCatcher is a MP3 player that sits on top of a FM radio docking station. It will tune into your favorite FM radio station and record songs from the radio into “near perfectly cut” (whatever that means) MP3 files.

The first model to be announced is the TraxCatcher Classic, retailing for $159.99 USD and providing basic functionality. According to the company, future higher-end models would include HD radio support, digital inputs and outputs, USB connectivity, versatile MP3 docking capabilities, clock-radio functionality and satellite radio receiver integration.
