I hardly had to read past the headline. Cancelling a family plan of 3 MULTI YR for buying CDs and Slacker G2 player

First off I assume you stole all the music on your ipod? I buy mine, so it ain't free anyway for honest folks. I got satellite to listen to NHL while I drove cross country. I can also get any game in my car for any of the pro sports anywhere I am. And while I had Sirius before Stern arrived, I absolutely love his show and find it well worth the price just for him. I admit they are fighting an up hill battle, but your simplification of the product to just music is grossly unfair. And your last bit about adding sponsors to all the channels would be a death nail. You like listening to your free music on your Ipod without commercials just like I like listening to my reasonably priced music in the car without commercials. I have an Ipod that I use as well, but I like the variety this service provides.

When I had XM there was very few channels that had no commercials, so I'd imagine that they wouldn't be able to subsist on advertisement only.
Also, they need to work on their customer support. It took them _3_ months to stop charging me after I canceled my account.

Another thing they need to do is choose the stations that were the most popular across the new networks instead of the random stations they seem to have chosen.

You haven't listened to XM or you would know that these stations are hardly "advertisement free". In fact the constant commericals are even more annoying and distracting than they are on the "free" public channels. I will not be renewing my subscription.

@XGI
Well, to be fair there are like 5 channels that are commercial free...

I've been an XM subscriber for 4 years. My new car has Sirius and before the merger I decided I'd have both....XM at home, Sirius on the road. Even with the merger, it's worth every cent. I do listen to an iPod at work so my Sirius gives me a greater variety. I get ESPN Radio and news channels my Ipod doesn't have. Who says you can't have it all?

serius + xm = 2 times the sat radio...dn't complain!

I truly hope the people in charge realize XM has their stuff together while Sirius is purely a joke.

PS: Bring back BEYOND JAZZ you dummies!

5 channels commercial free, define comercial! Because on my XM radio I have a lot more than that.
I wish they did "take the best of both", they did not!! Now there are DJ's that won't shut up (please play the music!!) and have no clue what a genre is. XM was for people that knew music and loved it, Sirius was for the main stream. Xm played a lot of different music aome of it very rare, Sirius has short play lists that keep repeating and DJ's that talk too much.
They need to make a niche, Ipod's only play what you have nothing new and that will catch you off guard and surprise you with a new artist. They need to sell to the people that LOVE music, find the people that are passionate about it and let them know there is a channel for them!! Not 100 channels playing the same thing.....

Listen, I work electronics retail and sell Sirius radios as part of my job. I actually have to know a bit about them and how they work to sell them. Our Sirius reps kept us in the dark about what channels would be kept or lost after the merger basically until the merger actually happened.
I was part of the group of people that thought merging the two companies would just mean more channels on both services. Instead, they got rid of the only music channel I listened to consistently (while the boss wasn't there) the Punk channel. They replaced it with AC/DC radio. Really?! Doesn't AC/DC only have like, three songs? I was actually waiting until after the merger until I finally bought a a receiver for myself and I'm glad I did, because I would have been really pissed off at what they've done to their lineup.

I got XM a year ago. I loved it. I just listened to music. It was Squizz, Liquid Metal and Bone Yard mostly. Another favorite was XM Standards and Chill. They dropped every one of these channels except for Liquid Metal. I'm trying to get used to the new lineup, but it's hard. I got XM because of the channels. I listened to both XM and Sirius during the free trial to see which I liked better - it was XM. Now I don't have XM. I have more Sirius. I'll eventually get used to it, but what I thinking is what's going to happen in the future. Are they going to drop more stations that I like? Are they going to rearrange them again? What's going to be different a year from now? Because of this there's no way I'm getting a lifetime membership. I have a portable XM radio - the Pioneer Inno. I have it at work (listening to Holiday Traditions right now - thank God they didn't drop that one), in the car and at home. It's perfect. But if they start changing stuff again I won't be renewing my membership next September.

Um...that's a GPS satellite in the picture...
That explains why I'm lost!

XM and Sirius died the moment that iPhone came on the scene with Pandora (just as displayed above) why on gods green earth would I STILL pay for the phone and sat radio? i'd rather use the phone that does everything thank you very much. Sirius XM... Take the hint and DIE.

Really, You thought investing in Sat radio was golden. It may have been if it lunched say 50 years ago when satallites started going up, and why would anyone pay to listen to the radio.

When I first got XM (Jan-2002) its music channels *did* play commercials. About 3 minutes worth at the top and bottom of every hour. I could live with that again if it meant that my monthly cost would go down and channel selection widened.

I had a choice, when I decided to go satellite radio, and I chose Sirius. I drove a truck and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed not having to search for stations that had music I liked, every time I went too far from an FM station. All of the years I used it, I don't remember ever hearing an advertisement on the music channels. I'm not driving anymore OTR, but I still listen to many different types of music, from Rock to Classical, depending on my mood and the traffic I'm in. I would be mighty pissed if I were to lose my favorite mode of listening. I still travel, and still listen to the new Sirius XM and love every minute of it.

The biggest hurdle satellite radio faces is cost. You not only have to pay for hardware up front, you then have to pay a monthly subscription (or a lifetime sub) in order to actually use it.

They should diversify into two product lines - one with a high initial cost for hardware but NO subscription fees for the life of that hardware, or NO hardware cost but a monthly subscription with a service contract, much like cell or cable service.

The second business model is probably the most viable, seeing as it already works for a flourishing industry (hello, cell phones). They could make it even more viable by making a deal with automakers (hey, the big 3 need new gimmicks right?) to include a hybrid standard/satellite radio in all new cars. If you don't want the satellite service it works like a normal radio and you'll never need to worry about it. If you decide to try out satellite, you've got the hardware already. Hell, give new cars a 3 month trial to satellite radio and people would switch to a subscription after xm/sirius became part of their daily lives.

Lack of exposure and high cost of entry are killing satellite radio far more than ipods or iphones.

"I buy mine, so it ain't free anyway for honest folks"

Big hairy deal. I bet you feel so superior because you don't have to spend your $$$ on food and can waste it on overpriced CDs, huh?

Troll. I bet you own not one storebought CD.

It’s the browsing capability which is the real value of Satellite radio. If all you did was listen to your ipod (no matter how much music is on it) and/or your finite collection of CD’s and today’s FM radio, your musical world-view will keep getting narrower & narrower.
Listen to XM’s Bluesville, Deep Tracks, The Spectrum, and rotate through the jazz channels every now & then. Keep it up for a month. Then see if you’ll ever go back. We are living in the golden age of music right now, with staggeringly HUGE amounts of content available in all the genres. There’s whole universes of fantastic mid-level musicians & bands out there that you aren’t even aware of yet!
Chances are, you won’t be going back. For your musical world will be experiencing a rebirth – sort of like it did back in the late 60’s when FM underground radio came on the scene.
This is the real value of Sattelite radio. Not the fact that it streams advertisement-free music to your car 24/7, but the fact that it’s tapped right into the mind-bendingly huge amount of new (& old) music very much alive in the USA.
$13/a month? We pay for what’s important to us. That’s why we have $100 cable bills nowadays.

There's a flaw in your argument. iPhone's 3G network isn't everywhere and until it's national and reliable in at least 75% of the nation, satellite radio still has a place. Try accessing Pandora through iPhone in the middle of West Texas. Yeah, you get NOTHING.

Satellite radio works over practically all of the country. Until high speed, wireless internet coverage is similar, satellite still has a place in this world.

Frankly, I don't subscribe to Sirius for the music so much as for CNBC and various other content I can't get any other way.

Well first of all its not interrupt free. I go under a freeway and it cuts out...no static no intermittant signal, just dead. Also I lost some of my favorite stations in the mergers and when all they talked about was the merger...it was annoying. Some of the guys on the radio talk more than play music. Shade45 was especially guilty of this. Also I was under the impression the satellite radio was commercial free and unedited songs. I heard words cut from songs on satellite that werent cut from air radio stations. Also I had a preinstalled Sirius in my 08 Mustang...that STAYS in my mustang and if I wanted a second radio to bring into the house I had to pay additional fee. Had my mustang had a radio that was detachable and I could bring inside to where I wasnt paying for service for when only I was driving, I probably would have kept it. Now I keep getting calls with 3 month offers and price reductions...put I tell them to shove it and remove me from call list...but i keep getting the calls. uugghhh

The Internet Killed Satellite Radio.

Even Sirius offers Internet Streams and their High End Radios have WiFi receivers - There is no theft here. Even they have in effect been acknowledging that the satellite's are obsolete ... And that does not even take into account their repeaters.

They have expensive satellite costs wrapped around their necks strangling them at a time when just about all cell phones have WiFi / Internet access.

Nobody needs satellites for content distribution anymore, period, all one needs is the internet. The sooner they can switch to pure Internet delivery the faster they will stop the bleeding ... Of course they will also then validate a model that results in others entering and thus competeing - The cost of a satellite no longer being a barrier to competition ....

As for those not having WiFi access, once February 2009 comes along all that analog TV spectrum that so effectively penetrates buildings will be "repurposed" ... And you can be the target will be Internet Access.

Satellites have very little value for "commodity content" these days, but they sure do run up the infrastructure bills.

Even look at Echostar / DirectTV who purchased SlingMedia. Why in the world would a satellite TV company purchase internet video infrastructure company? Because they to know Satellite TV is about to die as well. That is why Comcast recently implemented bandwidth caps in an attempt to prevent Sling media (AKA Direct TV) from being used to compete with their cable TV services via Comcast's ISP service.

I've had Sirius since it came to Canada and love it. I got it mainly for BackSpin and recently purchased a lifetime subscription, unfortunatly only three months before they get rid of my favourite station. They said it was merged with HipHop Nation, but I can't stand a constant wave of swearing and the lowering of a race. It sucks, but I still have all the other great stations and can only hope that they bring it back.

...also this comment thing kept telling it had failed even though it went through, so now I have many copies of the same entry....nice.

I've owned my Sirius radio for a year now, and I bought it because I can't stand the 2 minutes of commercials every 15 minutes on FM. When I bought it, it was worth every penny. I drove across state and it paid for itself. When I heard about the merger I thought it would be nice to have more options. Honestly I believe that they picked some of the worst stations to blend together. They got rid of their variety of techno, removed the punk channel (though I love AC/DC there's only so much of a band I can take) and on any given channel they'll play all the big radio hits all at once then play all the unknown songs that no one like making the radio unlistenable. I don't have picky taste of music, but when I can drive 45 min to work and not hear a single song I like across the "185" channels it makes me wonder why do I bother keeping it. Also, I can't stand the fact that I'll be listening to comedy and all of a sudden there's an ad about sexual performance, really? seriously? I would take some well chosen ads at the top and bottom of every hour if they expanded the channels, what music they played then they'd be worth the $13 a month.

I'll give it until the end of the year, if it hasn't gotten any better, I think I'll be switching to something else.

I agree the mix of channels went sideways instead of combining the best of both services. I personally love satellite radio had it for 5 years now. I do enjoy the music variety of satellite radio, qualitatively better than local terrestial radio. Plus if you take a trip across country, you don't have to do hunt for the station every 30 minutes as stations fade in and out. If they offered some chanels for local services to go national like the AM stations do at night, then we all would benefit.

I used to have XMRadio, but after the merger, they dropped the ONLY STATION I listened to faithfully, Audio Visions. Just before the merger I realized that I had all of the music they played. Matter of fact, I have more, so when the merger happened, I thought they would have a more diverse programming in the "ambient" music area. Instead, they cut it out to add more sports and talking heads, which I can't stand to listen to, so, I voted with my money and cancelled my subscription. You know anyone who wants a sat radio (Delphi Xm2Go) and all the associated attachments? I'll sell it cheaply!

Of COURSE Sirius XM is commercial-free! The commercials in between songs keep telling me so. At higher volume, too!

Count me as one person who finds they TALK too much on the music stations. I don't want to listen to yakking! If I wanted that, I'd tune into the nearest Clearchannel vapidcast.

I have Sirius (two radios), one I use in home and car. My gripe with the marketing for the merged company is the break out of the best of package. Here is a company that could use these premium services as a reason for new consumers and what do they do instead of merging into one service they keep them seperate and charge extra. Wake up, make both services the same and cease the confusion and rip off attempt and maybe, just maybe you will survive. Oh by the way, why would you advertise youself to people who already have the service and make advertising free a misnomer?

I have had Sirius for over 4 years & love it! I can't stand when I have to travel & can't get a car with satellite or it does not have a jack for my Stiletto. I don't want commercials. I do agree their lifetime pricing structures is terrible but customer service is generally been good for me. I won't give up satellite unless they start adding commercials to the music channels (they already have way to many on the talk channels now!).

Which one of these stations has attacked the city-specific traffic report market? It looks to me like, if they could get their act together, they could sample gps info off gps devices (cell phones and OnStar), relay that (free upload by opt-in basis) by OnStar or cell phone, overlay the traffic flow on a map. Flesh the story out with local news and put helicopter traffic reports out of business with real-time traffic. Seems to me a waste of technology to pipe archived music and commercials when they have the potential to do so much more.

I hate that all my fave channels were gone after the merger (upop to name one) and that the Christmas channels play nothing but oldies - nothing against the oldies but I associate Christmas music with the 70-80's on!

Sirius used to have live, original content on the weekends. "Filler" shows that cost them absolutely nothing because the show producers sold there own airtime. Shows oriented towards interesting lifestyles, like boating, fishing, scuba-diving. Rather than keep original and entertaining weekly content they opted to run "worst-of's" on the weekends. Folks, if you're truly competing with terrestrial radio try not to adopt some of their worst programming policies. I miss those shows. The people in them were truly interested in what they were talking about and I always managed to gain new insight with them. I'd usually get a good laugh to boot.

I carry both my iPod and my XM radio in the car. The iPod is great if I'm just interested in zoning out and relaxing, but if I want traffic (ch. 212 for Philadelphia), current news (ch. 122 for CNN), or current political commentary (ch. 167 for Air America), my iPod won't help me. And before anyone says "podcasts," that's still not as current as _live_ news and political commentary. I really think there was room for a satellite provider, even possibly two, but this merger is going to kill it entirely. I have no idea how or why this happened; XM was pretty healthy -- they got into the new car market first -- and they had a great variety of programming. How the hell did Sirius manage a hostile takeover, and what geniuses on the board thought it was a good idea to let them dominate the business end of the merger?

I bought into XM originally as a way to hear MLB games from my hometown of Boston while I live here in Birmingham. I've kept it to listen to ESPN radio to get sports from a view other than the local talking heads who know of nothing but local college football. A bit short-sighted. Now that the two have merged, I'm thrilled, because I added the NFL "Best of" package and it's already paying off for me. When NASCAR picks back up, it'll only add to the value for me personally. For sports fans, this is almost a must. As for music, well, it's not really anything different. So, it's up to personal taste. In the end, Sirius-XM will never be as big as terrestrial radio, because it's like HBO or Showtime, or some other premium cable channel that you have to pay extra for. If you like it, you'll pay for it. If it doesn't offer you the kind of value you're looking for, you won't. It's that simple. On top of that, I work in "terrestrial" radio in the Birmingham market, so, take it from someone who knows a bit about it.

As a huge fan of Sirius, (I even have a set-up on my motorcycle when I travel) I love Sirius and the benefits it offered. I'm less thrilled with the "after merger" changes. I paid more willingly for Sirius because it had exactly what I was looking for. I know legally buying all of those tunes for an MP3 player is expensive. I would like my old Sirius back though!

ok, at least the first few posts must be from people who never listened to satellite radio.
There are no commercials on the music stations.
Most of the sirius music stations had no DJs even.
They did go the wrong way on channel changes with th merger, they tried to go with a broader audience with many of the changes, when the strength of it was specialized niche stations. Nearly everyone is unhappy due to a particular station they used, being made more like another.
Holiday music selection was another instance of this, sirius last year had 4-5 holiday stations running for a month, this year, the repetitive "holly", then right before christmas, holiday classical, etc came in, but still not the selection of last year. There was a kids station for little toddlers, played sing-a-long songs, now there's radiodisney and (copy-of)radiodisney, both set for older kids, and full of DJ chatter.

Also everyone on the XM side thinks it's Sirius side making it more sirius-like, but it's gone downhill for variety of station choices for both sides, they seem to have looked at the list of stations, and kept the most generic, with the biggest listener numbers. Ignoring that the specialized stations were what many listeners subscribed for, listening individually to different stations, and changing to the generic part time, pumping up stats on the generic stations.

I just want to say the post on 12-19-08 at 3:51 AM by RUNCIBLESHAW was retarded. AC/DC is the greatest band ever and Sirius is awsome.

I'm sorry for everyone that lost their investment, but anyone who thought that subscription radio was going to be a winner should really just take up betting on the ponies. At the track you get to order a beer, and you can watch the horses run around in circles.

Nit picky details about content, generic vs. niche, yada yada, miss the real point. There was no way there were enough people who would choose to PAY, for what they could get for FREE, to make either company, or the merged company, profitable. Period. You may be a subscriber, and XM, or Sirius, or Sirius XM, may do something for you, but the financial survival of the company requires that more than enough people are willing to pay. That was never gonna happen. Period.

Your investment portfolio has my condolences.

I've been using Sirius for about a year and it's ok. I mean I can get good music that I normally wouldn't find on a public radio and although it is easier to load an MP3 player with exactly what I want, it's still a nice change of pace. When I travel I don't have to waste time trying to find an FM station that I can stand every 50-60 miles which, for me, is perhaps the biggest benifit of satellite. The thing I don't like, and aparently no one seems to have noticed this yet is that some of the stations already have sponsors. I hear ads for hard-on pills and adult products all the time and I'm damn sick of it. For some reason I hear this on all my favorite channels which really pisses me off, I always thought it was supposed to be commercial free music. With the problems satellite radio is facing now I think the ads are only going to get worse.

If people are willing to pay for TV, then why not radio? XM is the answer to my plea of wanting good, diverse listening pleasure without DJs yakking or commercials interfering.
I have it at home, and its a delight. I do wish a few stations would return but it is way better than the FM free radio.
Can't please them all....

Why waste money on satellite when Digital Radio is available from most earthbound stations anyway? It gives you all the same info as satellite radio without spending the monthly fee. All you gotta do is find a device to pick it up. I use my cell phone. It works and sounds just as good as satellite.

You can't honestly compare your finite MP3 collection with the universe of music you (probably) never heard - or heard of - on satellite radio. Where do you get a truly diverse playlist? Not on earthbound radio.

I subscribed because I'm Sick To Death of the same 100-song playlist on the local stations. I was desperate for something new. As long as earthbound radio is stuck in that mode (andbusiness model), XM will be superior.

I have had XM for years and love it! The only gripe I have is this whole merger thing. I loved the quirky channel names, Lucy, Fred, Ethel ect. I have been trying to get the Best of package added to my plan. The ads say only $4.00 extra but when I tried to do it this package added they said I had to pay $16.99 per month. I had a deal where for the regular service I was paying $6.41 per month.

Reading all of the whiners comments about the failure of satellite radio, makes me chuckle. Most of the complainers are those who travel in tight circles around a city base, and never really get out and drive across county lines, as a rule. Those are the folks whose daily ride consists of stop and go city and freeway travel, while catching a couple of tunes between the home front and their job parking lot. Sure they liked the idea of bragging to the Jones’s at first, of having the great advantage of satellite commercial free music, from any genre they chose. This bragging cost them a few bucks each month, and having the strange antenna on their vehicle gave them another badge to show off to the curious few that had never seen such a thing. This soon wore off, as the cost didn’t cover the usage, even with the goofy lump of black on the car roof that caused curious conversation.

What you all don’t realize, there are over-the-road truck drivers and those others that travel great distances every day, that appreciate the ability to listen to any form of music that makes them feel good, along with up-to-the-minute world news and talk formats to interest even the greatest intellects. On top of that, there are sports and traffic, not to mention weather reports that keeps those that need to know that type of information, well satisfied. They drive through mountains and across deserts, which will be the last place there will be a wireless internet availability. Some parts of the country, you can drive 100 miles before you get to the next city. These are the people who benefit most from satellite radio, and are willing to pay the price to keep it. You can’t listen to an Ipod or a CD and be able to choose between 30+ genres at a touch. You also can’t record a talk show or a newscast and get anything from it later. You also won’t stick your phone in your ear and get the sound from your in-car speakers like a satellite connection will.

That’s why I will fight to keep my Sirius XM subscription up-to-date, and I will move my unit from my car to my house, and if I want, I can also listen to it on the internet while I type this message.

Personally, I can't stand commercial TV & Radio... I support Sirius XM... I'd rather pay the 12something a month just NOT to hear the obnoxious commercials that have taken over the airwaves. Hell, you can't even change a TV or Radio channel to get away from the damn commercials, because they've all timed it so no matter where you turn, you're hit by bloody commercials. God, I pray that Sirius XM pulls out of the slump. I for one love my subscription to the service and see it, maybe not soon, but it will, become the norm for us 'untraditional' radio listeners... Hold strong Sirius XM!

I bought XM because it was better than sirius four years ago and now XM is pretty much gone it was not a merger it was a take over, I don't know if I'll renew, not that it matters they will be gone in a years time.

I have been a XM subscriber for a long time. Before Sirius launched there were a few commercials on the music channels. I remember ads for autoparts stores on the Boneyard, My favotite channel. I guess they figured a lot of head bangers were also gearheads. I didn't mind them. They were short and infrequent. Nothing like the mind numbing endless strings of ads on regular radio.
When Sirius launched and came out with all commercial free music channels XM had no choice but to follow suit. At that point competion was a good thing and made XM even better. Of course the Talk channels will always have commercials because most get their programming from nationally syndicated sources and sometimes they simply broascast the audio from cable news shows. When these sources go to commercial they may be obligated to carry their ads but in any case they have to fill the dead air somehow. In the early days XM had the Discovery channel and did have some original programming that was pretty good. I'm guessing it was too expensive to produce so it went away. Too bad.
I gave Sirius a try when they started to carry the NFL and considered getting rid of XM but I had grown too attached to the Boneyard on XM.
The closest thing to the Boneyard on serious was Hair Nation but they played only a tiny subset of the Boneyard's playlist.
I agree with the person who commented that the strength of sattelite radio was the ability to have small niche channels that catered to very narrow genres of muic or whatever. I feel that prior to the merger XM was particularly good at this.
Enter the merger. My worst nightmare became reality. The suits at Sirius who wouldn't know Joe Satriani from Joe the Plumber decided "Oh, we don't need 2 hard rock stations, we'll just keep Hair Nation and get rid of The Boneyard." You Boneheads!!! That was the greatest hard rock station this nation has ever seen!
I hear the Boneyard might be coming back this month but in name only. The programing, it is rumored, will be totally changed to make it just like the tired old classic rock stations that are a dime a dozen. I like classic rock but the Boneyard was my escape from the same ol' same ol'. And I would frequently discover new music or old music I had missed when it came out and bought many CD's as a result.
I'm sure others are having similar issues with their niche of choice as well. I can't say I listened to the Boneyard exclusively but it was my go to channel and if it goes away I probably will too. If and when the new Boneyard comes back I will give it a few months to settle into a programming routine. If it still sucks I will cancel my two active subscriptions.
Sorry for the rant. I feel better now.

Leslie, I've been bringing up a lot of the same points in your article w/ Tyler Savory @ Sirius Buzz & Seeking Alpha. He explains that Sirius Xm has thought about sponsorships but if it can't sell it's current radio advertising why try to sell more. But I still think having hourly sponsors is viable on music channels. I also agree with the idea of marketing the product like cell phone companies do. I think you would atract a lot of people if they only had to put a small amount down up front and stretched it over a couple years with the subscription. But my "new kick" is that Sirius Xm go after the younger market like the I-pod did when it hit the market. Give Sirius Xm a cooler image w/ a marketing strategy geared at the 16 -35 year olds. They seem to appeling too much to the boomers.

I subscribed to XM for 4 years, having 3 radios. They deleted all the music channels I listed too. And the Sirius versions, if they weren't cancelled too, were pale imitations of the XM. I cancelled everything after the merger and bought an iPod Nano. What's sad is that I was actually looking forward to the merger, thinking I would get all the great channels on XM plus the additional ones from Sirius. Instead, they killed off everything that made both systems unique. i hope that Howard, Oprah, and Martha have all cashed their checks, because I doubt SiriusXM will be around for 2010.

One thing that wasn't mentioned is all of the excess capacity both systems have. My Sirius radio can get at least 999 channels on each of three bands but in reality only serves up what, 80 or so? Adding more variety would be a great route to success even with the subscription model. I listened to maybe six different channels when I had Sirius. Of those, three were just subtle variations of each other. How about some topical talk channels? Technology, Home Repair, Cooking, World Religion(s), military, Dixieland, Electric Blues, Calypso, Asian, African pop? There are so many niche genres that are completely unserved by commercial radio. These are the things making ipod use and podcasting soar. Satellite could provide the content we don't even know we're looking for.

If you don't listen to radio or xm or sirus then where do you listen to new music?

Wow, that's a lot of comments. Interesting.

I recently bough a used car with Sirius and a subscription someone else paid. I didn't think I'd be into it but frankly I'm surprised. Yes, I have an aux in, and a phone that doubles as an MP3 player, but I don't feel like I have the time to load up MP3s or swap them around, and I never know first thing in the morning what I'm going to want to listen to on the evening drive. Having the choice from a number of different digital programs off the air is, at least for me, far superior to MP3s.

I love my Stiletto 2 Sirius radio! I have a dock in my house and in the car. It can function via Sat. or WiFi, records radio content and also plays MP3s. If you love music, there is nothing better...
