The original owner of my truck must have bought a lifetime subscription. Mine has been playing for five years now, and I've never heard from them.

I don't "get" the concept of Sirius unless you happen to live in a really ****ty media market with limited choices of radio programming or you don't have a little player that holds hundreds or thousands of your selections you can play through your car radio. My truck's radio came with about a half dozen of these subscription services pre-programmed that you have to sign up and pay for...not likely I'll choose any of them. DC is a great media market, but the media is full of commercials. I'd rather listen to music without a commercial every two to three minutes. If I were you, I'd stick with your little player. -- The "media" is only full of commercials if you dial up a "commercial" radio station. I don't. I listen to two non-commercial "classical music" stations and WAMU for news and intelligent discussions. If I happen to not like the music selections available on the radio, I simply switch to the 30+ gigs of my favorite music on my iPhone, ranging from Aaron Neville to Wynton Marsalis, with thousands of alphabetical stops in between, including the Dillards. I think but I am not sure that the truck sound system will also play, via bluetooth, my favorite internet radio stations, which are also non-commercial. Haven't tried that yet. For my bluegrass break this morning, I was listening to Vivaldi's music for lute and mandolin. You are such a man, Krause. -- Compared to you, my neutered cats are men. And the truck system does play internet radio stations, but, of course, eat into my monthly data allotment. There's no reason to listen to "commercial" radio stations in the DC market. There are plenty of no-cost alternatives. WAMU-FM at American University used to have bluegrass every afternoon. Now, on 105.5 FM, it has WAMU Bluegrass Country, transmitted from a tower in Bethesda. Commercial free. |
