"$20 a month to listen to the radio in the truck after a three month free
trial?

People do this?"


I had the 3 month freebie also, three years ago. I've negotiated with them a few times and the best they offered was $72 for a year. I only travel in the May-October time period so I wanted a deal on 6 months. I really only wanted the '60s rock music.
Couldn't agree on a pkg so I enjoy the two week free service each spring. Trouble is half the time has elapsed before they notify me that it's available.


One thing about 60s music, or any other "decade" group is they are not
making any more so MP3 is an excellent way to hear it.
The only argument anyone has made to me that makes sense is I never
hear anything new but I have my wife and a daughter scouting that out
for me.


IMO there is very little of anything "new" worth listening to.
