Cool re: XM Radio
You get what you pay for. That's why I drive with an iPod.

It's the same with cable TV. I JUST RECORD IT and timeshi+t later.

I drive a LOT. When I drive from TX to NY I listen to XM but I have to admit that it is awful lately! I love the Sean Hannity Show and any talk Radio but the commercials are so long I end up turning it off and listening to local NPR! Because of this, I canceled our subscription last month. $$10.00 is what 3 gallons of gas a month? LOL!

I got rid of XM and got sirius about 3 months ago. Best desicion I've ever made. I dont listen to cds, mp3s, or local radio at all anymore. Sirius plays less commercials, has better station genres, and Bubba the Love Sponge.
