Satellite radio?

[Perfectlap]

I agree its hard to go back to FM once you've gotten use to the variety of Satellite.

Just wanted reiterate the question of Ipod use if you also have Sirius or XM.

I was reading some smarty guy who thinks Satellite is doomed because Ipods are so common now. An opinion I found to be strange because I have both and I don't see one as a subsitute of the other. I certainly can't spend 8 hours listening to an Ipod at work like I can listen to my Sirius. Neither can I listen to my SIrius at the gym unless I get one of TV remote control size Satellite receivers which are pricey. And in the car I prefer the Satellite as I can listen to new stuff all day and then go and download it onto the PC/Ipod. The point being that the Sirius receiver takes the lead over the MP3 device. With my particular MP3 player I can stream record right from my satellite receiver onto the MP3, another reason I think satellite seems like a better value at $12 then buying a dozen songs.

If that new Iphone came with a Sirius subscription then I think they would have all the bases covered..pnone, mp3, satellite radio, internet.

I guess I'm behind the times since I have no ipod or MP3 device. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing but XM gives me all the music/listening choices I need. I may not be able to listen to a certain song whenever I want to on XM but an ipod isn't going to give me the weather and traffic info or CNN/Fox/etc whenever I want like XM can.
Not having 5,000 songs downloaded doesn't bother me at all.
XM works for me and that's all I care about.

XM in wife's '99 Grand Cherokee. But Roady 2 easy enuf to move for that big coast-to-coast we want to do in the Box some day.

We have done several cross country trips in the Jeep and having the Weather Channel and Fox News Channel was worth the fees for the year. And every now and then we took a Comedy Channel hit.

Mountain use is a problem when you lose the sat due to terrain masking.

No iPod, no MP3 player. Both cars have multi-disc CD players that we load up with our favorite road music.
