Do you have a subscription? Do you like it?
Im still in my 90 or 120 days trial, then can get it for $5 a month for a year before going up to close to $20.
For $5 its way worth it to me. No way for $20.
Sound quality is just ok and I think you can agree, its almost like the old PAY TV days with XM, tons and tons of channels and c**p I have NO interest in, except for a few channels which are great.
I dont want sports, I dont want band specific music channels, god what I would give to give up half the channels to era specific choices and better sound quality.
So... if I can keep it at $5 a month for music, Ill keep it, if not, I will stay with Apple Music at $10. a month on my phone and use bluetooth in my truck.
XM is convenient but my god, way too much money for the music I want. You would think they would learn from the cable companies losing subscribers as fast as I CAN type this. *LOL*
Ahhh... I just checked, music only $11 a month, no sports, no loser Howard Stern, that is a reason alone to Subscribe, I wouldn't pay more but for $11 without Howard Stern I very well may subscribe.
