If I wanted news, maybe it would be worth it.. but it's not worth it for music anymore, not at the prices they charge. If you like all led zeppelin, all ac/dc and all 80's hair bands, and the billy idol station... then you'll be fine.

Guess that is why it appeals to me as I tend to listen to business news and all alot of the time.

Everyone's got their reasons for listening. I go to the internet for news these days, but I always have. Our local market for talk radio consists of exactly one station and they're not all that great so I never looked to XM for news radio, didn't expect there to be much there.

I mostly listen to the radio to find new and unique music. Up until about six weeks ago, I was looking into getting an XM unit for my MINI and then Sirius started shutting down all the XM stations. When that happened, I opened up iTunes and started making massive mp3 discs and looking into cd changer. I'd hate to lose my James Bond, but I'd rather give it up than have to suffer with another rendition of "White Wedding".

Anytime and hey... thanks for listening to my XM rant. If you hadn't noticed.. I was feeling pretty irate about the buy out at the time that I saw your post. You handled that with style and I look forward to the time when you are able to join the ranks of MINI ownership, until then... DO stick around! This forum needs more folks like you :-)

No problem

Think I am going to go with the Sirius factory option.
