The last week or so has been a free preview time for Sirius XM Radio.
What a treat...I favour the '60s tunes.
No seeking required.

The problem with Sirius and XM is that the sound quality sucks big-time.. If you have the base stereo it may not be that noticeable, but with a better quality one the sound is very "flat" with almost no stereo image. It's highly compressed. I dropped my subscription.

MP3's sound far better. I can rip CD's to a high bit-rate MP3 and play them from a memory stick or transfer them to the "jukebox", which is nothing but a hard drive in the car used to store music. Then there's always HD FM, which is even better. The high quality iTunes songs are good, too.



Most of the original recordings from the 60's and 50's aren't exactly
"High Def" anyway, so I don't mind.

That's true. I listen to '70s rock and modern country, so it's a bit more noticeable on the '70s stuff and in your face with any modern music.
