We will have to agree to disagree on that one big time.
I have had XM on for 7yrs now and don't intend to stop. FM/AM radio is trash to me. Just renewed again last week. Love XM. |

I plan on renewing. I like the variety and the fact the artist and song title pops up on my hud. |

The sound quality is trash, especially if you upgrade your system. I enjoy it in my wife's vehicle because she wont let me crank it up, and I dont have to bring my ipod, I can usually find a good/decent song flipping through a few channels.
I will say this though, at least with the hip hop channels, mostly Backspin which is typically the only one I listen to, the music selection has gone to crap. I dont know if they are on some sort of automated playlist, but there are 2 or 3 songs that are almost meaningless to the genre and not even that artists top 4 or 5 songs, that are played consistently around the same part of the day. A song that should maybe get played once or twice a year at most because its so insignificant as a classic song is playing several times per week, at least that I hear. I find myself flipping through channels more now than years back where u could just leave it on and hear 15 great songs in a row. |

I prefer using Pandora... same great content for free without the crappy sound quality and cutting out because of tall trees or overpasses.

I don't care for XM radio, but I have no problems with the sound quality. I live in NYC, so that might be why it sounds great.

Love XM and use the phone app at work on a speaker dock. Great variety.

I am still on my 3 month 'free trial' from back in July 2010, has never shut off, never signed up, never gave any credit card information, nothing. I get various letters from them and from GM stating it's 'expired' but nope. Lucky I guess.....

Gotta love O & A, and lil' Jimmy Norton too. Occasionally I listen to Ron & Fez but they're not as enjoyable in my opinion. Better now that Eastside Dave appears to be gone. Too much drama and over the top acting on that show. My tuner is mostly stuck on Octane though.
I've had XM going back to '06 when I bought my Cobalt. Much like high-speed internet, there is little chance I'll ever go back unless for some reason I can't afford it. Didn't know there was a music-only option. Might have to check into that. I'm on the quarterly plan so I never looked into it. My only XM complaint would be that the online version isn't included free anymore. I liked being able to play XM in my home without needing an extra tuner and the corresponding additional fees. XM only in the car for me now.
