In no particular order.

1. When those providers came online, XM in 2001 and Sirius in 2002 I believe, were they not they were completely commercial free? I used XM way back before the merger. In fact I still have the XM receiver. The catch is that back then they were completely ad free. Now they are as bad as regular car radio.

2. With Spotify, Pandora, iHeart, Amazon Music, WHY does anybody actually pay these people anymore?

3. Does anybody here use this thing? Is there some allure that I don't know about? Because at the bottom line, I STILL can only listen to what they send me.

4. What are your opinions about the "all" stations? All Springsteen, all Dylan, all Petty, all Beatles... I mean there are 5 stations dedicated to TOM MORELLO!! Really?

They keep sending me these 90 day trial offers and I don't even bother reading them. The most annoying thing is that because my car radio is satellite ready, every time I start the car it reverts to Sirius/XM and I have to change it. That kind of intrusive behavior makes me take the attitude of "You will NOT take over my car so I will NEVER subscribe to you." Then again I can be an arrogant PITA so take that with however many grains of salt you like. I don't even like Pandora anymore because of the "Because you listen to this, you might like this" nonsense. If I set up David Sanborn, play frickin' David Sanborn until I change the channel. Don't give me Grover Washington or Boney James. If I knew how to set up Sanborn, I am also capable of setting up Grover or Boney, am I not? I didn't know until yesterday that Pandora allowed me to say "Play ONLY this artist". I may have to sign up again.

I just like my thumb drive with the music I want so every song is one I picked.
