Hey Pandora, since when has rap music become classic rock?
I guess we listed to different channels. On a two day trip I may need to channel surf but for the most part it's been three to five selections I listen to in th truck and at home on Dish it far exceeds anything else musically offered. I guess i do not get the corporate image stuff...http://audiokarma.org/forums/index....nlimited-spotify-and-now-google.801777/page-2
I can't tolerate Sirius/XM because of their incessant chatter and their nasty (and well-earned) corporate image.
My sentiments exactly. $5 for something I use almost daily for 2-3 hours is a bargain. (I actually pay $3.99 as I'm grandfathered in under an older deal.) The subscription brings with it somewhat improved sound, and since it's primarily background music for me, I don't pay much attention like I would on my big system.It sounds like you've got your mind made up already.
You know, you can use it for free, don't you? All it costs you is a few keystrokes.
If the commercials bother you, you can always upgrade to a premium service for about $5.00/month.
Me, I find that $5.00 a worthwhile investment for the pleasure I derive from it. I've got a bunch of genre specific channels that I've been building for years. ...and the sound does not suck.
I loved XM. (R.I.P. XM Radio.) When Sirius took it over, canned all of the good DJs and PDs, dumbed down the music selection (and put some Cousin Brucie sh*t on 50s on 5), dumped some favorite channels, and killed off the feature shows I liked on 50s on 5, I cancelled. I was a longtime subscriber prior to that, even having a unit I used at home. I got a two-month trial when I picked up a car back in 2016 just to keep me company on the four hour ride home, and it sounded horrible, much worse than it ever did under XM's control. Worse than 128k MP3. Nothing like listening to a Rachmaninoff piano concerto and having it sound like it's underwater...http://audiokarma.org/forums/index....nlimited-spotify-and-now-google.801777/page-2

That's our local public radio's jazz programming in a nutshell...that sh!t they played turned me off years ago.Ditto. I like XMU but the stupid shows where some hipster feels the need to turn everyone on to his off-beat music along with his incessant banter turned me off.
What makes you think it's bad?How bad is it? I would like to hear the long and short replies.
Jason Schwartzman of Coconut Records is the main reason I've dropped my subscription. I didn't mind the station and variety of music but I can't stand his nasaly delivery and endless banter along with the bad hipster music that Im apparently too square to appreciate.That's our local public radio's jazz programming in a nutshell...that sh!t they played turned me off years ago.
