Live in the X Lounge is a series of albums released by Birmingham, Alabama's former alternative rock radio station, WRAX. Though the station can no longer be found on the air, this series of live performances was produced while the station was known as ''107.7 The X''.〔 The station was later renamed and moved to ''The X @ 100.5'', a change prompted by its acquisition by Citadel Broadcasting. Seven albums were produced in all, the last one released in 2004, just a few months before the station was acquired. All discs in the series were sold to benefit United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham, a group of associations raising money to create awareness and research for cerebral palsy.〔 The first CD in this series was released in 1998, selling out all 10,000 copies in 10 days.〔Rossi, Dave.

By the time the seventh disc in the series was released, over 85,000 copies were sold, with the contributions of over 70 bands, raising $1.3 million for UCP of Greater Birmingham.〔United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham.
