they probably added it in the last 3 years.

Do you always respond to threads three years old?

i guess he does. there's only 1 post count.

well its an old thread but ill contribute...i took XM over sirius mainly because of the trial's i took for both...alot of my fav stations on both services were pretty good but i noticed that sirius plays alot of the songs multiple times which is my reason for hating FM radio...i dont want to hear the same songs everyday 5 times a day....XM was a little more mixed, imo...im not a stern fan, i dont listen to news, and i dont want to listen to sports on a radio so those features that sirius had didnt interest me much.

this might not matter much but i seem to like the DJ's on XM more too, i like the conversations they have with callers, and the stuff they talk about like music, politics...keeps me interested, esp on the old school hip hop station. i usually hate when DJ's start blah blah blah on the radio but on several of the XM stations i listened too it was decent...on sirius there was less talk more music...so if thats your thing than sirius>xm

the jazz on sirius>XM...ill admit that, sirius had a more consistent set of music i like and recognize.

XM decades music is good if you want to hear best of and most memorable songs of the 60's 70's 80's....on sirius i heard the same songs played too often and they played more of the mainstream songs...like the billboard hits types of songs....on XM you hear more B-side tracks and less known songs.

hip hop is a tie, although i like shade 45 alot on sirius, (not when g-unit takes over tho) they play a nice mix but it is rather biased, they only play music that is in one way or another affiliated with them.

electronic seems the same on both, although im not a huge fan and cant tell what is good or not, i jus like to listen to it at night when im on the hwy...both services seem equal.

i know XM future may be uncertain due to the merger but id gladly use the XM till its dead if i have to.

magikone69 I agree with your assessment as I had XM in a rental car not long ago. Again I would say its not one > the other so much as personal taste.

As I'm not into Howard or the NFL, I'd prefer XM for the Major League Baseball—but Sirius came with the car, along with a free 1-yr subscription. Aside from no baseball, I like Sirius just fine. And I like all the NPR. I don't feel there's a huge difference between the two systems; with well over 100 channels on each, I'd be happy with either.

Sorry I never even looked at the date of the post.
